Rollercoaster Ride

An emotion graph charting the ups and downs of a single day as a volunteer in Nigeria might be analysed thus:

8am: quietly determined
9.30am: quietly frustrated
10am: calm
11am: bored
11.45am: think am going mad.
12noon: want to get on the next plane home
1pm: Am I going backwards?
2pm: Glimmer of hope
4pm: Calm & determined.
4.30pm: Right. Lots to do. Might have to extend. Or come back.
5pm: Oh this is great!
6pm: EXTEND? WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS I THINKING?
7pm: Resolve.
9.30pm: Tomorrow’s a new day, will definately get something done then!
