I come home at 6 am and in 8 is already dark out side and we don't have special bike roads.

I must say... today my energy is not so low, I guess I'll get used to it somehow.

I need 15 min just to get to sleep and than I could sleep until the next morning. But I like the idea for "nuts-supper"

I had much time to do so but at that time I always had some excuse for staying at home... You just don't know what you have until you lose it!

We just have to wait and see about that. I Can't go out today cause I have to learn. ... Can't wait for next spring to start with all those experience. Good thing is that I'm still student and I'm doing this just until New Year, and after that I'll have much more time. jeah That's mine little consolation when I'm tired
