Partial explanation of why I have been busy with a capital B

[tristella]

I finished my dissertation last night. I'd spent days and days in the library, and finally it was done. My supervisor said it was pretty good. I just needed another 1.5 hours to read over it and polish it up, I thought

You'll get it done in time lah.

[tristella]

Yes, but will it be any good, and will I be able to do the rest of the 48279381207382748397 thousand things I need to do before I leave for Croatia? :S

Your Peter Beagle book hasn't arrived yet btw. I'm getting worried, since it was supposed to be dispatched by Aug 16th. Argh.

Stop worrying and just get it done? Things have a way of coming together.

Book. Argh. Maybe you should email the seller?

Oh yah, the book got lost in the mail. She refunded me the money. Now my question is: it costs about 5 quid on Amazon, dispatch within 24h - I'm not looking to buy anything more, (particularly because if it gets lost in the mail again, I don't want to deal with refunds of a large sum of money in the croatia-leaving period or to pack many bks into my suitcase if the parcel arrives late) so do you want it enough to pay 5+delivery fee for it?

Aiyah. Could you order it from Amazon please? It will be about $25, right? It better be good, after all this hassle to get it. Thanks Stel, and sorry!
