My desk-light is on and it’s the middle of the day

Well, I wasn’t posting because I was in Ireland.
Okay that’s a lie. Not about being in Ireland, but I was only there for about 6 days…the other couple of months I haven’t been posting I’ve mostly been in denial about life and time and studies. And being in denial takes up SO much time, before you know it it’s August, and you feel the time has come for a grand gesture. For me, it was a grand gesture of downsizing. Downsizing my desk, that is. So I borrowed a saw and I went at it and it was awful because it was SO much work.
But really, what else is a girl to do on a Saturday night? The sawing was mostly a crapload of work because of all the books which had to be temporarily relocated. Ergh.
That was about half of it. But now, ooooooh now, I’ve got a desk with NOTHING ELSE on it besides my computer and a cup of tea and it all felt so inspiring I immediately wanted to post something. In other words, the madness pays off, eventually.
Until the next episode, I remain, a bit of a wack-job.
All the best!
I’ve been busy! With the obvious things, such as eternal reading of articles:
And relishing the sheer and utter joy of having a new marker:
And having a breakfast of toast, soymilk-coffee and a bunch of scribbled cards:
And cleaning up the floor so I can actually see it:
And even though none of that may seem like much fun, I have secretly been enjoying it thoroughly. Hence, I’ve also been busy ensuring a continuation of this very wordy nerdy lifestyle, by applying for a second Master’s degree (I hate having to write a letter of motivation, or whatnot. Yuck):
But most wonderful about all this is that no matter how close the deadline for my thesis is getting (four weeks and counting, thank you very much), I am okay. I have cookies to eat, funny comics to read for procrastinational purposes, I have a penguin on my desk, I have pretentious music to listen to, I have shoulders like bricks and I do not think my thesis is going to be any good whatsoever.
And yet, and yet … I’m having fun. Nerdy fun. And there’s hardly a freakout in sight!
Amen.
