There's a hole in my neighbourhood down which of late I can not help but fall..
I'm back home, and with computer access again. 'm sick with a cold and so exhausted from the 10 hours of driving that I think I'd quite happily push my car off the edge of a cliff.
...okay, maybe not that exhausted. I still love my car far too much to imagine something like that for more than a second. But I'd really like to not drive again for a little while.
Well, it's taken me a while but I figured I should tell LiveJournal how I went with Honours. I did well. I don't know the exact marks yet but my supervisor tells me my thesis got 87% and he wants me to develop some of the material for the Australian and New Zealand Communications Association conference in Brisbane next year. I know that I reached my own goal, which was to get a H1. I'm not sure if I'm going to present at the conference yet. I'd love to be able to say I'd done something like that, I'm sure it'd look great on my resume, but I also know how very shit-awful I am when it comes to public speaking. If speaking in a room full of my peers scares the hell out of me, imagine what I'd be like in a room of published academics. It horrifies me to think about it.
I can't really update about anything else at the moment because the flu drugs are kicking in and I'm honestly struggling to string a sentence together. The number of times I edited that last sentence can serve as proof... except that you have no way of knowing how many times I edited that sentence. You'll just have to take my word for it.
