Waiting

I sit and I wait while Audrey is at the head of a table of six academics quizzing her on her paper. For her the time must seem endless as it does for me as I wait and wonder -not if she will be successful- but how much she will have to go through to prove that she is capable of doing what she is already shown she can do.
Time here seems to go so slowly. Both of us have commented on that. I believe that that is because of the jet lag. It seems much later than it is because we are still on Atlantic time and it is much later than it seems.
