mornings

have been needing to get up earlier to get to work in time for my morning subjects -- which means that i get grumpier and grumpier as the week wears on. thursdays: definitely dark skies.

i'm probably just all too infatuated with the hollywood schema of a weekday morning - bright sunshine streaming through french windows, waking up to the smell of a hot breakfast, time to read the headlines. reality is no match: groping for the snooze button in darkness; forgetting to shave; munching on oreos while marching towards the mrt. two more months of this, at least -- and to think that my wake-up time was one of the few reasons i didn't envy the teachers.
