Dissertation Days Five & Six

After an utterly unproductive, but nonetheless lovely weekend (more on that another day), I went back to school Monday with what I hoped would be a renewed vigour. Unfortunately, it was more of a renewed lethargy, and Monday ended up being, while still productive, not my best day ever, at around 2k written. 


However, Charles and Camille stopped by to look at the music facilities or something (I wasn't that invested in the entire affair) so we took a break to do some royals watching.




Charles waved at us as he walked past, and asked us if we were having a tea break. We laughed and said yes to be polite. The entire thing was very weird. I don't get royalty. But hey. I got in my obligatory "I live in Britain hey look royal people" moment.


The day ended when I hit 10k and decided that was good enough, a fact that was really just cemented when I mentioned this to Becky and she kinda slid off her chair and then curled up under the table.

In unrelated news, I haven't been straightening my hair the last couple of days, instead giving the natural curls a chance to exert themselves for once.


I'm not quite sure about this yet.


Today was a far more productive day, and though I still have the majority of my conclusion, and parts of my methodology left to write, I finished the survey analysis and printed off a first rough draft. Today was gorgeous, and I'm hoping tomorrow will be the same - as I'm (however temporarily) back on paper, its the perfect chance to return to my old starbucks & sunshine in the morning routine!


Jordan's birthday party is tomorrow night, and I'm also going to a matinee of Rise of the Planet of the Apes with Becky, Jack, and Ali, so it is unlikely there will be a post going up tomorrow. Just fyi.

  1. I've been thinking about your curls...what if that part of your hair was shorter? ;)

  2. Call me crazy but I love your curls. Curls always look very French to me. Your dissertation is looking great. Good luck with the methodology - always a challenge.
