There was a purpose for getting up this early. I was supposed to meet with
kabuki_mask online for a little chat. I think she might have fallen asleep. Unfortunately this leaves me up a few hours early and in a house where the heating just came on as I got up. Brrrrr.
I've decided that the 5 hour time difference is a big pain. It's too much of a difference to be able to meet up with people in the evening and too little to be able to meet up with people before/after work without waking up or staying up till weird hours.
*yawn*
Still, being able to talk to some people that I can't normally talk to is nice. It's not the main reason to get up this early - although today it was - as I've decided there aren't enough hours after work to get done everything I want to get done. I'm still a volunteer at the journal, I've got more data already than I know what to do with that needs to be cleaned up and sorted now for publication, and I've got some reading and a report to write to transfer to the PhD program from the MPhil program. Anything else I manage to do will be a bonus.
