Sometimes I get elevated so high, going back to "normal" life can seem like a downer. And the more I think about, the more down I feel.

The weekend was so incredible with so many U2 fans from around Canada and the United States. And I got to see my friends from Los Angeles again! But now they are gone. I miss all of EXIT and Christine!

The weekend is over. It's now midweek. I'm sick of my thesis. It feels like I'm going nowhere. I go into the lab and when I come home, I feel no sense of accomplishment. At this rate, I'm never going to graduate. Thank goodness there was a consensus in our lab today to stop talking about the negatives and promote a more positive work environment. I think it'll make doing work more fun again.

Since the weekend, I haven't had time to do proper grocery shopping. I've been hungry since then, never fully satisfied. But I fixed that by buying a whole whackload of BBQ meat and vegetables from Chinatown. I'm full now.

This is a depressing time of year in Canada. It gets dark at 5pm and the days are only going to get shorter. We're halfway to the winter solstice. Once we get past that, the days will only get longer. Thank goodness for that. BTW, the winter solstice, December 22, 2003, will mark another special day. Can anyone guess what it is? At least today despite the darkness, we had an awesome lightening and thunderstorm. It felt like bomb dropped as my apartment shook from the shock.

It also sucks that I don't have volleyball today. I need my physical activity to keep me in shape and my spirits up. It also helps to drive a spike into the ground, or pound a serve to the opponent.

I've been cheering myself up by listening to "Substance" by New Order. Most of you probably listen to Disc One only, but Disc Two also has some stellar tracks, like "Lonesome Tonight" and "1963". I'm feeling much better now thanks to the music.
