wilted flowers on monday

starting off the week feeling exhausted. half way through my intensive portuguese course (five hours a day, every day, for four weeks), which is overlapping with my old portuguese evening class. meaning that some days - like today - I travel across town at 7.30am, attend class til lunch, spend the afternoon doing homework exercises, travel back across town, and go to my evening class until 7.30pm. go home, eat, sleep. total shutdown over carnaval can't come soon enough!
