When I first started as a ski instructor I always dreamed that a child I taught would go on to the Olympics and win gold. Eileen Gu did that today.

What it actually means “I’ll be obsessively checking the clock all day because I’m constantly worried I’ll be late if I don’t. I also worry that if I commit to doing anything else important that day it’ll distract me from the time and I’ll miss the appointment.
