today

It was hard to wake up this morning. Really hard. I faced the prospect of getting out of bed at 7 and going to work with little to no enthusiasm. So I got up at 7:20. I slept hard last night, probably to forget how frustrating the night before was. See, the Internet decided that my dorm room wasn't really the best place to work. At least my side of the room wasn't. I didn't know before last night that the Internet could flicker like the flame of a dying candle, but trust me, it can.

Normally, the lack of functional Internet wouldn't be a problem. Last night, though,I needed the Internet to do a good third of my homework. Lucky for me, I have a wonderful boyfriend who was willing to come up at 11 to take me down to his townhouse where my chances at connectivity were better. I get there, and find that this is indeed the case. Unfortunately, I also discover that I left part of my homework on my desk. In my room. Across campus. I did what I could, then had Mark take me back.

I went to sleep hoping that when I woke up the situation would be better. It wasn't. This discovery was saddening, but I didn't have the time to mourn, as I had to get to work rather quickly as a result of that delay in wake-up.

Work was pretty good this morning. I had a few people call who were slightly sad that it was the morning, but nothing too bad. Work is always better when the callers are friendly.

New Testament went pretty well, except for the fact that I had to fight to stay awake. I really like that class, so I managed. We talked about the crucifixion in the medical sense, which was really hard to hear. It is so easy to forget that Jesus suffered like that for us.

The breakthrough moment came after NT, as I finally got my English paper turned in! :) Well, I have to go. More later.
