Yay!

Just one more week and it'll be in the mail.

To those of you I know and like

It's time for a party. Here are the details.

Day of Days

And so, after having shunned visiting family and friends, doing dishes or laundry, work and play, I am about to hand in my thesis later today.

*shudder*

So it has finally come to this

Having cleaned my entire room, done all the chores I could think of, just about perfected all the graphs I made of my data, there's just no putting it off any longer. I've started writing my thesis. Yes, hell must have frozen over and a couple of pigs in Western China probably just grew wings and succesfully completed their first test flight. Whatever the cause might be and however unlikely this course of events, the dye has been cast.

Remarkably so, writing isn't going as bad as I'd thought. The words just sort of come to me and the number of pages written grows steadily by the hour. Having read quite a number of articles, essays, papers, etc I must have grown accustomed to the language used in scientific writings. As this can only be considered a major breakthrough, I can only hope I will not let myself be distracted, be it by friends in need of a coffee break, household or administrative chores or anyting otherwise remotely interesting or in need of doing.

Having said that, there's nothing for it, but to just get back to writing some more.

Pop quiz, think fast

Your flatmate decides to stay in Australia for 6 more months and announces he met an ideal new subletter there for said period. You'll not get to see her beforehand though.

What do you do?
