Analyze your writing! Totally had to look up who it is... Freaking Canadia! Was considering entering some text from my upgrade, but I really don't wanna know who I write like in academese:-p
So, I'm doing OK. Had my half-way review for my PhD and I'm finally through that, so I'm halfway done. Registration now Ends in September 2011, and hopefully I won't need to have an extension because I need to get done and submit on the deadline in Sept. After that, it's another 3 months to get an external examiner for my defense, then another 3 months for corrections. That means the grad ceremony will be July 2012... Fun stuff! Otherwise, I'll be moving off-campus next month, and I'm currently in the US waiting on my student visa to come back. I have another 2 weeks here (I think). It's gonna be a long year, but hopefully better than this past one. My supervisor's still being rubbish, will need to have a talk with him about what's reasonable and what's completely ridiculous, like his recent idea for my next study....
In other news, I've gone to Venice in January (not sure if I mentioned it) and Cyprus at the end of June/beginning of July. Also got to briefly see Cardiff, Wales at the beginning of the month. I'm trying to make sure I'm making the most of my time over there. I've gotten an invite to Belgium as well, especially when I mentioned I planned on eventually making it over to The Netherlands to see Helios (sorry, too lazy to tag). But yeah, been a crazy year. Right now I'm procrastinating on editing a friend's business report, not sure why, but yeah, really not in the mood for that. Mild burnout?
I have twitter now (and most of you have me on there), so I've been really bad with updating and using this. Apologies to those of you who still do, I'll try to be better with it, but it's acting up on the friends' page for some reason...
Hope you're doing well. TTYL, Byers!
