Where did it go?

My motivation has escaped me. I'm trying to get Beethoven to bring it back.

I might go revise elsewhere. My room is not a distraction usually, but today the bed is a LOT more appealing that usual.

I think I shall go inhabit a kitchen near 'U' (oh my, isn't that witty..)

I want to play the cello.

Disappointment!

It's raining.

My macro extension tube set ma jig arrived today; it won't easily fit on the body of the camera, and when I got it on, I couldn't take photos because "The lens is not attached". Great.

There's a suspect small silver screw that I might adjust when I can find a small enough screwdriver.. Flautists? Clarinettists?

On the plus, I worked out I can drop a subject from my revision, and remain at the same level of panic for the exams. 2 more to go.

And I got amazing surprise post today! With butterflies! From a cellist!

My room is tidy :) I'm off to dry my hair, then meet my auntie and uncle.

Possible exciting news RE: London.

And I feel lots better, including my back. I managed to revise at a table yesterday (!)

I can do this!

You grow like tornado

5 topics, 5 days. More than one topic a day = win.

Feeling better today. Day off yesterday probably did me *lots* of good.

Though I am still worried about the last paper.

Am annoyed that the sun has apparently gone away, now that I actually need it for this week's photo challenge..

Going to check post before NLP. Yes.

Also, am loving Jonsi's Tornado. Especially at about 1:13.

I can do this.

Fighting the urge

Yess.

Oops.

Goal

Quick posting from HOME. Yessssssss. All those hours were worth it to see mum's face :D

Dissertation miraculously finished and handed in; nothing more I can do about that.

Now revision. I have enough time. I can do this.

I shall continue to get up early (though not as early as yesterday, thankyou) - I appear to work pretty well then. Which is a shame after all these years thinking I work best at night. Turns out I like sleep more. Which I should really have known.

Then after exams, after the end, I am going to sort out me. And make me happy. Properly properly happy. I am mostly right now, don't get me wrong, but there's lots of room for improvement.

And I may have been entered onto a graduate scheme based in Manchester.. Hmm. This does not fit with my model of the next few years at all. I don't know how I feel about this.

Anywho, to the kitchen! Where it's clean and tidy and well-stocked :D

I like dee pink polentaaaaa

My favourite clip from QI, ever.

Keep your dukes up

It's clicked! Finally clicked!

I woke up this morning with 1,000 more words than I went to bed with ; ) And have done rather a lot since.

Now it's sunny and I'm going out : )

I get to make cake tomorrow, and properly attack the dissertation again later. And go to a concert!

This is going to a good weekend. I won't let anything get in its way.
