The Road Ahead
Yesterday, in a whirlwind of activity, Ronan and I turned in our thesis draft. It is crap, but at least it's done for now. We're taking the weekend off, but will get back to work on Monday or Tuesday.
As a reward to myself, I went over to Mitch's place and played Texas Hold'Em with a bunch of people. The table of twelve was evenly mixed between North Americans and Swedes--with "our" side represented by me, Kevin, Laura, Mitch, and Roya (who was an onlooker). Mitch's roommate Svetlana won, but we adquitted ourselved admirably, although I would like to point out that I stayed in the game longer than Kevin, who had declared his sole goal in the game was to beat me. Silly boy.
Then, around midnight, I came back to the "office" and somehow got sucked into my blog. I've decided to add photoblog capabilities to this site, and it should be showing up in the next few days--along with a new look for the site.
By the time I got to bed, the sun was coming up. That statement is not nearly as impressive as had it been December in Sweden, when the sun didn't peek its shiny head over the horizon until nigh on 9 a.m. But now by 4 a.m. the sky is awash with pinks, melons, lavenders, and buttercups. Very pretty.
As a result, I slept in until almost 11 a.m. (what, not the middle of the afternoon, you say?) and here I am, right back at the computer. I have a little knot of panic in the middle of my chest at the though of no thesis work today. If I don't have a meaningless project to work on, WHO AM I?
Projects for today:
- AUGH! I can't even think of anything!
- Ok, deep breaths.
- Maybe a nap?
- Maybe some packing?
- Maybe reading up on Turkey?
