Taking time to take the time

E-word,

I can't say it's worth all the trouble that El and I are going through right now. We live 200 hundred miles apart, and the weekends just aren't long enough. We end up spending so much of our time lately just touching one another to make up for a week of sleeping alone in our beds. It's not ideal.

I've been working my ass off lately, both at work and finishing up this horrendously long take-home exam, but after today I'll have a 2 week respite before my summer class starts. I guess the good thing about going to school is removes the need for extra-curricular activities or interests. Instead of having to say, oh, uh, well, I watched a bunch of shows I tivo-ed, and I sat on the sofa while doing it, I can say, oh, well I'm taking a class on such and such and divert attention away from the fact that apart from going to school all I really do is watch tivo-ed shows.

E-word, I can't wait to hang out this week. Let me know what days you're free. Thankfully today I have to turn in my exam, so I'm free the rest of the week.
