Homeland

This morning I met my thesis advisor for the first time. As I entered her office, she slid her glasses down the narrow ridge of her nose and frowned.
“You look tired,” she said.
“Homeland, the TV series. Five episodes last night.”
Her frown deepened. “Don’t waste my time.”
“I won’t,” I promised and spent the next two hours discussing my synopsis, the cases and articles I’m planning to use, and set project milestones.
At the end of our meeting, I was spent. Her frown had softened though.
Other things I’ve accomplished today: laundry, gym and another episode of Homeland.
