I need more sleep (don't we all?) (today)
today I was entirely zoning-out. picked up my intro philosophy science essay from Vic, the test wasnt there , had to leave a message on the TA's answering machine twice because i wasnt sure i left the number clearly, sort of muttered it . There was the
TIG toronto meeting followed by the unofficial dx staff party, but i called to cancel going to the unofficial staff party and just went to TIG instead.
It was lots of brainstorming We had more things to talk about than time to talk about it all.. i wasnt awake much, felt tired.., zoning out again - Dropped my second pizza on my pants - yuk! Then when Karis showed me her masterpiece photographs that i had wanted to check out, i thought some were out of focus but now i think it must have just been me dozing offf SOOO sorry Karis =( i did think they were well done...then for the rest of the brainstorming i didnt contribute much =(
I left w/ vanessa and reg since YMCA locked those front doors at 7 and it was ~7:05. It was snowing. I mentioned first expereinces w/ snow how i liked the novelty of it, having moved from california to canada, it was such a novelty, and even built a sort of igloo in the backyard w/ my sister... but now i hated snow ever since i had to shovel it off the driveway =p , I was about to tell
Reg (from Zimbabwe) more about the bad side of snow but I changed my mind since Reg here beside me was gleefully skipping through the snow, happily picking it up , tumbling it in his hands..
So i got home.. after taking a different subway route since York Mills buses were stuck w/ snow difficulties..
yesterday tho was the nice DX company-organized staff dinner buffet- held on the 15th floor party room (like a big living room w/ open view of the toronto skyline) candle-lights on small intimate tables, trays of food., chefs serving at the table, wine, and long, nice conversations w/ other staff. At one point the president brought a talented 8-year old little girl who played her violin for us, performed in the spotlight, about 20 minutes at least 5 songs. I used to play the violin in grade 4 and that was also the only year i played it, i can say she's very very talented and must have had tons of practice. I think they shud have let her paused longer, since your neck and your right hand do get tired..
this party yesterday didnt go that late, only to about 9 or 10.. but when i went home it was chatting on icq (for example
tim giving me advice about street safety and youth gangs in taiwan- part of the reason he likes canada and not so urgent to go back) which lead me to sleep at like 2 am.. which is proabbly why i was soo tired and out of it today.
