"You always look so tired."

[eye_of_a_cat]

Apart from the fact that this doesn't ever sound like a compliment, it's just annoying. I thought I was organising my time and work quite well. Apparently, I am organising my time and work quite well - but the effect of this is that I'm existing at some low level of tiredness all the time, that other people can see this, and that I don't even notice. Can't I at least fool people? Bah.

In better news, a student who's usually the quietest and shyest person alive, and who's only just recently started speaking at all without looking absolutely terrified of it, turned up to class yesterday all happy and confident and enthusiastic about discussing things. And she brought grapes, too.

I'm vampire pale, I think. I've had to show the photo on my registration card to the nurses at the blood donor thingy because they were going to make me stay there and keep drinking orange juice 'until you stop looking so pale', not realising that I'm never going to stop looking so pale. Heh.

I'm not in today or tomorrow - you around on Friday? I should phone you this time, since I think your phone bill probably suffered enough!

You can if you really want, but all my UK calls are free (Toucan Telecom, very useful - and it's only 3p to Israel), so there's not much point! Yup, should be around on Friday. I've just acquired a book of Victorian ghost stories, but it's being saved for later.
