Six months done.
Actually it's been a crazy 6 months. My thesis, is written, for better or for worse, I guess I'll find out at some point. I don't have a defense date yet, so I'm still sitting around and waiting for that to be sorted. Probably end of June from the sounds of it.
I've moved flat. Temporary space. Living with a friend of mine from work, ELS, while I figure out what I'm doing.
Which goes to.. What am I doing? I.... have... no.... idea..... I'm currently looking at post-docs and trying to figure a few things out. The economy isn't helping me AT ALL. There just aren't many options and there are a lot of people looking around. So what does that mean? No idea. I'll stay put until I find something. Wherever I manage to find that something. It would be fun to stay here if I could find something that I like, but on the other hand, I sort of miss N.America. Been missing it for ages now. Would love to get back over there.
At least this bit is almost over though. It's been a long while coming. Looking forward to being able to say it's done. Completely done.
The next two weeks are sort of funny around here, one of the reasons my defense will take so long to sort out. With the bank holiday weekend starting last Thursday for me, I've taken two days off this week (Wed and Thurs) and I now have almost a week and a half off because of the Easter holiday, May bank holiday and the Royal Wedding.
There is a chance I might watch some of it. I was thinking of bringing my laptop outside and watching it streamed, depending on how the weather is. The weather has been extraordinarily beautiful and warm this year. I guess we're already into summer. But I'm trying to take advantage of it as much as possible before it all goes away.
I do need to sort myself out soon, for while living with ELS is nice, she's a bit bossy, motherly and somewhat controlling. I moved out of my parent's home a long time ago. I don't need a mother. And it annoys me more because she's younger than I am.
Happy Easter Everyone!
