(un)Anniversary

Published 20 April 07 02:00 PM

Jumping on the bandwagon with everyone else, I should note that this weekend I'll be writing up my fourth annual report. Somewhere this year I slipped from being one of those people that finishes vaguely on time to one of the people that have been around for ever, with the end of their thesis somewhere in an indefinitely deferred future.

It's the end of another week without much thesis to show for the time passing: I'm alternating between a conviction that I need/deserve/require thesis boot camp, or that I need sleep. Friday afteroons are quietly disspiriting in that way.

Yep, been there, done that with the fourth annual report thing...a couple of months ago. In fact at one stage early on, the EE&CE School was making us submit half-year reports as well, plus there was the research proposal. Not fun.

Good luck with it.

I am returning to drown in the typing pool now, as everyone in the office except me seems to have novels to be typed out completely this afternoon.  Thankfully I have music to partially drown the noise out...I reiterate _partially_... I just don't have much to write about anymore :(
