Tired, exhausted, almost hibernating

I just finished working on my statistics for 9 freaking hours. 9! That is NINE hours! And the worst thing is that I am not even remotely done with it. I still need my statistician to send me the results, report them, analyse them and type everything up in clear prose.

My statistician rocks. He is sooo nice and sooo patient. While working on my data, we had the green things you can see in the picture to the right. They slightly resemble Christmas cookies, just that they do not taste like cookies at all and that I am not really sure if the green frosting was meant for human consumption. But hey, after 9 hours (did I mention NINE HOURS), I would eat anything to give me a sugar rush and help me stay awake. And since my statistician is used to staying awake for nights at a time, part of his payment includes the best my culture has to offer. Exactly: Chocolate. In case my mom reads this: Hi Mom, we need more chocolate here! Lots and lots of chocolate. Pleeeease.

I am sooo exhausted. This is what I hate about student life. I hate that there are weeks when nothing happens. Hardly anything's going on, you cannot work ahead, because there is nothing to work on. And then, out of a sudden - boom - you are sooo swamped with work that you don't even get 5 hours of sleep every night. This is one of these times.

Besides, I feel kinda emotionally exhausted. After my car died last week, I just want to hibernate for the rest of the semester. Wake me when all the trouble is over and I don't have to worry about my study anymore and when there is a car in front of my house. A car that does not break down in the middle of a huge intersection during rush hour.

The thing with my car also made me think a lot about the concept of friendship. I just can't get it out of my head no matter how hard I try. I am really blessed with many kind friends, but the concept is also cultural and once again, I feel like I am trapped between two cultures. Well, this takes another hour or two away from the five hours of sleep that I have left.

So, I'll better get to bed now and start hibernating. At least for a couple of hours...
