On a roll

Between the hours of 4.05pm and 9.29pm today, including distractions, procrastinations, visitations and dinner, I managed to churn out 1453 words of my 1750 word Industrial Organisation Essay. Impressive right?

Though I have gone somewhat mad, talking to myself while I write. Also I'm pretty sure my eyes are pretty zombie-like right now.

The day actually got significantly better. I got home from uni and had a 10 minute nanny nap, then I had carrot cake and hot chocolate for afternoon tea. Best. And I got especially in the bit of my life where I got Emily's Christmas card (and yes Em, I am tagging you in this post too! ahahaha). I saw the Australian stamps underneath a few things in the F pigeonhole, and I was like that one is so mine. And then I recognised Em's handwriting. It was a personalised Hallmark card with a picture of us on the front! Made my day. I have put it on display on top of my bookshelf, to prove that I have friends. Since getting the card, I have also decided that I am going to make myself a little cardboard Christmas tree out of:

a) the cardboard from my Amazon textbook order;
b) the little round bits from my holepunching work over the semester (top quality work); and
c) Berlin's textas

Creativity and cheapness fuse and materialise in my creations.

That will be my next procrastination activity. But it will look really pretty on my Christmas display shelf, and it will make me happy! I will take a picture when it's done. Sorry for the lack of picture by the way. There actually are none. Unless you really want pictures of my books/essays/computer/tired face.

What's planned for the weekend? Study.

I am aiming to finish this essay by lunchtime tomorrow.

Then after that I can go back to the depressing Corporate Finance work I have to do. 90% assignment kill me now.


And once I get these 2 pieces of work done, I can pretend that I'm actually not in London to study.

No actually. I need to start packing. And organising.

PS, today's weather was solely single digits, still no rain (though it did rain at night yesterday). Twas okay, didn't spend too long outside, just walking to/from the bus stop/uni/halls. Still sleeping with my window slightly open though, otherwise the room gets a bit stuffy.

PPS, Happy 6 months, Dave; Happy 20th, Nathan. Miss you both.
