having spent the last three hours writing up the meagre thesis proposal i have been worrying (and obsessing) about for the last two weeks, i now get an immediate reply to my email (with attached the above proposal) to my supervisor saying that... she will be away until monday. d'oh!
oh well. at least i've done something.
fifth week blues, and all-oxford phenomenon, is hitting me bad, and right now i really really really cannot be bothered to do anything but whinge. next week will be a big kick up the arse though, with a research methods essay due and two economics classes in one day (doesn't it sound like fun?!?).
anyway, let's mention more cheerful things. for example, the fact that i spent the last weekend in london with m to see my parents. we stayed in a lovely hotel, had lovely food, walked around portobello road market, looked at lots of chinese furniture and so on. i also found the perfect present for my 25th birthday (25th because it is a present of a certain importance): a bright blue lacquer chinese armoire. beautiful, beautiful.
also, i apparently am an old english man with a flat cap, since i like drinking bitter (although it was only light bitter).
my shared duties as beer manager are turning out to be a lot of fun and very tiring at the same time; in true OCD fashion, i spend far too much time taking stock and cleaning with iana. i'm loving it though and our interventions seem to be putting some long-needed life (and hygiene) back into the bar.
plans for tonight: move kegs of beer around a tiny back room, and then lying in bed with m watching some dvds. i've never been a fan of valentine's day, really... but it is a good excuse to be loved up as i am without feeling silly.
i'm thinking i need to leave the library now.
