While sitting in my study, writing informatics-papers to be able to (within months) collect the degree I started working on acquiring over ten years ago, I keep motivating myself by making a list of things I will allow myself to do once the diploma is on the wall. Today I added buying the new My Bloody Valentine album (mentioned in previous entries) to the mental schedule. A good thing is that I only have three more papers to write before I have the god damn degree. The bad thing is that the list is unrealistically long.
I bought an eight pack of bread rolls - when I come home there's only seven in the pack, and on my way out of the store I stopped at the bin to throw away paper scraping and receipts i had in my pockets.
I picked up a shirt I ordered online - it is the wrong colour, so now I have to send it back to Northern Ireland and call them and explain.
My co-writer and I had to spend all of today redoing everything we did yesterday because we didn't have all the theories straight when we started writing.
Thanks TB, for coming up with these black letter days!
