...and the rest of what's left

today i was allowed to whinge

after taking 4 exams in 3 days, i felt like i had to take a few hours off to rest my fried brain cells. sleep was not hard to come because in a few minutes i was in lala-land.

when i woke up from that nap, which was refreshing by the way, i saw that there was a missed call from him. in my mind i silently wished he calls soon. in a few minutes the phone rang again. wish granted, it was him.

he asked, "hello, how are you?"

i answer by ranting my stress off for almost half an hour.

i realized, however, that i was boring him and that it was unfair to him. so i apologized, i can't be cheery and sunny today. it's ok, he said, i am allowed to whinge.

whinge? i ask. what is to whinge?

oops. sorry, i did not mean too.
