I fell asleep during my morning prayer, only to wake up 15 minutes before class time. Last matroid class, finished one hour early, meaning one more hour of research time for me, during which I had no progress whatsoever. I just had to wing it for the supervisor meeting, and that was ok, but still embarrassing, I think. Interesting how Carlos saw me right before and right after the meeting, and he saw a big change in my face, from a worrying one to a happy one...I never knew that I express my emotions so clearly... After meeting, talked with Carlos, then Graeme and Mike, then a dinner with Tony and Carlos (it's a day of Carlos, apparently). Went home and wasted time. I still can't believe I waste so much time...

What is the lesson that God is asking me to learn here? I believe that I have obeyed the Holy Spirit in asking Francis for a devotional partnership via an email Sunday evening, yet I have not received any response so far... There's this sense that I followed God's command yet it doesn't seem to yield anything, which is kind of confusing for me. Also there's this sense that I really want to care for Francis, yet he seems to be refusing any such care... I don't know, I think too much, as always.

I'm grateful to God for...

• waking me up just in time to rush to class;
• leading me through another supervisor meeting, despite a lack of preparation;
• continuing to teach me the lesson on patience and judging;
• the merciful end to the matroid classes; and
• letting me connect with Aaron.
