Well, today was rather productive, I kept going back and forth to the library to get references for the Chapter 2 introduction. It's coming along nicely, the Mid-term serves as a useful starting point even though it will be completely rewritten by the end. I had two good chats with my supervisor today. One we hashed through the thesis, some pointers, things to emphasize, what needs to go in the appendix and so on. The other was expected but was less pleasant, which was discussing when my money would run out. The current date is 14th May, the end of 4 years of my Ph.D. This was a bit scary, but things are coming along at a good rate, and I hope to be finished by then and on the job hunt. At that rate, I would hope to be able to join the September graduating class and get my moment in the sun, but more importantly, get some more papers out; the life-blood of a post-doc.
I ran out of Progynova last night, and didn't get a chance to go into town and get my script refilled. Hopefully I will find time to do that tomorrow. A whole 24 hours without estrogen… Ack! I'm changing!!! I'm reverting back… help me… ^_~
Susan dropped around this evening as well, so it was wonderful to see her bubbly self as always, though I was jealous of her cool skirt. I also did coffee with Red this morning, because she is off back up to Sydney tomorrow. About the only planned social events on the calendar are Susan's birthday (must remember to send Dad a card too) and before that O-week. I'll probably help stuff show-bags and sit on the Queer Collective stall for a little while, luring people in and converting them… *evil grin*
Have I been single for so long, because I simply don't try? I don't think it's as simple as that, I just don't move in enough new social circles to meet appropriate people, plus there's that birth defect thingy too…
Has it been so long that I can't remember what makes relationships wonderful in the first place?
