Six hours until I leave Cambridge! (for a week)

[trampolineboy]

This thought makes me far happier than it has any right to. But then after that it will only be another three years until I leave Cambridge for good. I've been a good mood again for the past few days, despite having objectively calculated tha my life here is really pretty bad after all. My project is pretending to work for the moment - I finally managed to find conclusive evidence that I've been doing the wrong thing for the last nine months, and that an alternative approach has at least a possibility of working. It will take me about a year before I can decide that this approach is just as much of a dud as the first one, but since I've stopped caring whether or not I get a PhD at the end of my time here, this thought doesn't bother me so much.

I have a few last things to buy before I leave this afternoon, and then the problem of cutting my luggage down to 15kg for Ryanair. And then I get to leave Cambridge!
