The thesis and I have separated. I just came home from the univeristy. I've been up for 30 hours (except for an half and hour nap this morning before proof-reading), and I don't know how I feel, but I guess I'll know by tomorrow morning. Now tea, food, sleep ( Read more... )

blueholocaust, caliso, daisy_duckling, eksimo, elvenqueen, hello_siri, i_rasputina, lilithslut, onibasu, sushineko, tanjuska or anyone else, want to be included in this swapping thingIn other news, I went to see my thesis supervisor today. He got my head a bit messed up but had good ideas, so my love for the man continues. I might skip all lectures this week (not sure about German literature tomorrow yet), but I'm getting a lot of work done and I ( Read more... )

Hello, Thesis, I've missed you!
