Blue

M is currently making us a nice big Gin & Tonic with the Bombay Saphire we bought recently. We hope this will make us sleepy enough that we can go to bed between 2 and 3 today and get up at 9 tomorrow and then work all day. Yay. sigh

We put a big calendar up on our wall today where we marked the due date of our theses (thesises? what is the plural of thesis?) and important milestones on the way. October is going to be SO stressful. Oh. My. God. I have to do one chapter per week starting Monday. Maybe I should really follow Steve’s advice and hook me up with some non-stop caffeine IV for the next five weeks.

That calendar is really making me nervous. I can see it out of the corner of my eye when I sit at my computer (which I do all day currently. Which is why my back problems reappeared recently).

I’m sure everybody has to go through this when writing a thesis. But it’s the first time for me so I hope my bitching will be excused.

the plural should be thesii.
i’ll start a petition.
will you sign it? :P

i understand how the calendar brings you pain, but at least it reminds that there will be an end to the thesii eventually. one day, you’ll be free again! :D

Thank you for saying that. I will try to see it like that. But currently I cannot think of it as the day it will be over. It’s more like a threatening date looming ahead. Maybe this is due to the skull I drew right next to it ;)
