Here he was, quite able to fulfil his role, and, as
with other roles, the longer you played it the better chance you had of
playing it again. Doing what you wanted was the only training, the only
preliminary, needed for doing more of what you wanted to do.
--Lucky Jim, Kingsley Amis
7.18am
And, thusly, this makes the second weekend in a row that I'll probably
stay up through Saturday night in order to go to sleep at a regular hour
Sunday night and ever contemplate going to Statistics again. Let me point
out how exceedingly easy this is to do when I have the internet. I can't
even remember the last time that I had to stay up all night without the aid
of my email to check every ten minutes and a thousand little tasks that I
have stacked up in the back of my head that I need the internet to get
accomplished.
little things which haven't been done this week due to lack of internet
(they've been piling, y'all):
- turn in my time sheet at work before 9am Monday if I want to get paid...
- email statistics and linguistics groups about projects
- buy the next book I need to read for brit history
- ever have any of my pictures be seeable by anyone (here's risk tonight)
- read SO MANY DAYS of newsgroups
- read MANY MANY HOURS of built up email
- let Beth know the address for this page
- buy tickets to Harry Potter on Thursday night!
- pay credit card bills
- check my work email and probably have more things to do in there
- email Dana about my hopeful research project...!
- read new entries by Beth,
TCA,
Pamie,
AB,
joanna.
- check my graduation status on oscar!
- get nicholas's temp computer to be able to rip my new Ani CD
- probably have new 3210 notes to read on the swiki, since I've missed millions of 3210 lectures
- read about a thousand new Harry-Potter-related news blurbs
at The Leaky Cauldron
I'm getting a little long-winded here, but only because I'm certain there
are more things that I'm forgetting. Whatteva.
I'm
so craving digital candy, but what I must really do is study for my 3210
test on Tuesday. Or Testday, as I typed it the first time around. Damn
Testday is worse than Monday, man. I have about 200 pages of linux kernel
specifics to read between now and Testday, and let me tell you, it takes me
a long time to read one page of linux kernel specifics. I really
have enjoyed the little bit of stuff that we've done in the class, but I
haven't gone to class for the past two weeks because I'm afraid to find out
what I got on the last test. Brilliant stategist, as always, I know.
Ah, and Testday also happens to be GoToTwoClassesIHaven'tBeenToInWeeksDay,
TwoToThreePageTheaterReviewDueDay and FinishTwoHundredMorePagesOfLuckyJimDay.
So I guess I'd better hop to it, eh? Adieu.
