Yes, all after teaching school all day. :'(:'(:'(:'(:'(:'(
Only two left now 😏
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the following:
We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house but Grandpa retarded from his job and they moved to Arizona. Now they live in a tin box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they don't know who they are anymore. They go to a building called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed because it is okay now, and do exercises there, but they don't do them very well. There is a swimming pool too, but in it, they all jump up and down with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can escape!
Sometimes they sneak out. They go cruising in their golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And, they eat the same thing every night: Early Birds. Some of the people can't get out past the man in the doll house. The ones who do get out, bring food back to the wrecked center and call it pot luck. My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded someday too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the man in the doll house. Then I will let people out so they can visit their grandchildren.

It is 2:30 AM and I'm still up and looking at another 3 hours of work (interspersed with chess breaks) before getting up at 7:30. That is alright though, because I have coffee and I'm well rested. In fact, I've been so depressed lately I can barely get myself out of bed in the mornings. I've had 0 focus and have been distractable and unmotivated and just sad. The lack of focus is why I have to be up all night tonight.
Tomorrow I will be exhausted and miserable, and hopefully Thursday I'll be well rested and miserable again, because I have a presentation on epidiemiology to give, and knowing what the heck I'm talking about, and being at least awake enough in the morning to tie a tie are neccesary.
