I was lying in bed, ready to go to sleep beneath my mosquito net (yes, there are still mosquitos), when I realized I hadn't posted today. Part of me said, "just go to sleep, it's not like you'll be able to say anything intelligent at midnight anyway" - the other part said "come on, it will only take 15 minutes, you don't want to ruin your every day record." So I got up, took of picture of what I did all evening for proof, turned the computer on to Blogger Bot this photo to you. Aren't you excited? It's proof that I can spend entirely too long doing mundane tasks. For example, this evening I spent over 4 hours colouring cards like this. It was pretty much unneccesary, I doubt my students would have complained if the cards had been left black and white. Yet, I felt the need to colour in every little picture. Hmm. My addiction to mindless tasks is actually just a coping mechanism for depression, I don't have to think I just do. Don't worry, I'm not THAT depressed, it's just the weather is finally getting to me. Cold winters I can handle. But when it's cold, dark, and rainy for 2 months, it starts to get to even the most dedicated of winter-lovers. I'm almost half-tempted to say the ill-fated words "I wish it was warmer", but with the threat of a tropical Taipei summer, I know better.
