But I think I've gained a little more perspective than that. A few early days that stretched from yesterday till Monday, with a little normality at work (TGIF at that) means that I'm in a same-but-different space around this time, so much more so when it's 2010 version rolls around. It's nice that I'm not a 1-year NSF, but already I have only a year left. 'Only', you say? But that is such poor representation and I accede to all incredulity with which this post is read. 10 months of this behind me have done nothing but make me think of better times past and better times to come.
I think I'll not look so far down this 1-year (though, as I've been told, round figures of such wholeness appeal to the mind, and so a nice appreciable number like 1 year can be bandied around this time, but not for long) as time passes it by and nibbles it up. Instead, as with the second parenthesis in the update, the weekend's much more grasp-able, don't you think?
