Me at the moment this past month.

But spring is here! I’ve been up till the wee hours of the morning multiple times this week, and every morning as dawn breaks I hear the fresh first stirrings of the day. It’s an odd time to feel peaceful, since by then I’m ready to claw my eyes out as I frantically finish a paper, but for a few lovely moments the blur of work fades into the glory of the morning. Spring!
