to begin...

Perhaps I ought to finish my th*s*s. Only 2 chapters to go. But I'm at the point at which I never want to see it again and I Just Need A Break. Can't have one though.

Argh! I just want it to be all over.

I'm doing the boring "read papers and write the introduction" bit. Did I say it was boring? It's boring.

Distractions: h2g2, OxIRC, painting tiles, cooking, washing up, tidying up, putting out the rubbish, doing laundry, Mah Jongg, Tetris, email and now LJ. In fact Anything I Can Think Of.

Must concentrate.

Hah!

pretty pictures

I obviously need to take photos of my favourite hats and shrink them to the correct size for use as LJ pictures.

Hmm I really ought to read that paper about time-dependent upwelling.
