Day 4 - 71 -- Losing Time

Today is that annual 23 hour day -- well in most parts of the country. Only those with sense have chosen to avoid this refined form of torture. Even though time changes at 2  AM on a Sunday, I seemed to sleep restlessly and woke very early for a Sunday morning. The weekend should allow for a bit of a lie in, but that didn't work today.

The day was bright and sunny, though it was a crisp prairie type of cold. I spent about 45 minutes pushing the snow that fell in the early morning hours on Saturday. It was warmer today than yesterday, so easier to manage the work. Once that was finished, I spent the rest of the day indoors marking papers from the 4th year course. These are learning reflections that are always interesting to read. I also did some work to prepare for a makeup midterm exam for this week. Several other organizational tasks were struck off the infamous 'to do' list, as well. I plan to get to bed early and hope that helps with the early rising tomorrow -- the brain will not see what the clock says as really 6:15, but rather 5:15. I expect to have a lesser turnout to the 8:15 class, but I'd love to be proven incorrect <smile>. All in all today was not a bad day. Just short. 

The song I've chosen for today addresses the concept of less time available. The version I've chosen is a cover of the original from The Police. It does have the lyrics in the comment section, which might help a bit if not familiar with this one. In all versions the music overshadows the vocals. Enjoy!
