This is the state of my life:
On Wednesday night, in a desperate attempt to finish my assignment due on Thursday, I was at work 'til 6pm, and then went home and worked on the assignment, until 10pm, at which point I took a nap for an hour, and then worked 'til 2am, when I really couldn't anymore. Got to work at 7am as usual on Thursday morning, went to court 'til 10am (luckily a short day), and hid at the courthouse library to do the assignment from 10am-2:30pm, at which point I submitted it before the 4pm deadline. I had to work in the courthouse because at work, even though they are suppose to give us time to do these assignments, I still get continuously interrupted by last-minute demands and the steady stream of cold calls to screen for senior lawyers. So on Friday morning, I inadvertently slept in 'til 7:05am, and the receptionist (the nicest person ever), left me a message at 7:25am say that she is worried about me, since I was not at work yet, at 7am as per normal. Such is my life.
Calgary
I haven't been in Calgary for a year, and had totally forgotten how much cooler it is than Edmonton. Had a great time meeting up with a friend from England. Made me miss my Leicester days a lot a lot. Such an idyllic time of discovery. I want to go aboard again, stat. Also saw Passchendale with Marc, which was pretty good, actually.
Break
In class this week. A magical time of 9-4 days. I got home today and there was still daylight. I actually felt like doing laundry, making dinner, and baking an apple pie. Wow, this is normal life. Think I can ever have that, and a career I love?

I get to work an hour later than you, and I physically leave there at sunset. Then I either head home and continue to work on the stuff from work for about 3 hours or rush to my night school. Sometimes when I don't feel like carrying 30lbs or so in my backpack, I stay till about 1900. Eleven hours at work. Woohoo! I wish I have a normal life too. As for whether I have a career that I love, I had my doubts.
