I am bad. I did a little work today, but mostly I dicked around on the net and did nothing *useful*. I read through some stuff and organized some things, and that's about it. I just lose all my desire to be productive when I'm here, it seems. That is a Very bad Thing. I need to get back into my reward system, where working for X amount of time means a half hour of internet 'play' time. I did reply to one outstanding e-mail at least, but it was a 'persona;' one. I should send some more of these as well. I just don't like writing e-mails.

I have a related dilemma as well. I am trying to decide if I should send anything to the UCL guy. He did sent me some encouragement about the financial situation at least.... but he is on vacation. He did give me another e-mail where I could reach him, though. And I know that he is in the state, even. In fact he'd initially offered to meet me in person while he was here, but that doesn't work so well if I can't get around :p And on Wednesday, I'm going to the SHA conference and will be away, so... I'm not entirely sure what I should say at this point anyway. I mean, he offered to talk to me, if I don't pursue that, is that being lame? or just courteously allowing him to enjoy his vacation? In fact I understand he recently married a lady from NC and is probably meeting/visiting family here. But the 'main' holidays are over now... Argh! I am so terrible at decisions. I guess I'll just e-mail some of *my* family for now and worry about him later. Rar.

I wish I were feeling inspired enough to do something actually creative. We'll have to see about that too, I suppose. I am just full of lethargy and listlessness.


tomorrow I will: print the ors application forms and maybe even send them. This requires putting them on my jump drive, which I will do now. Then I can e-mail Dr. Flatman again.
I will also go to the library and look more for another site.
I will send Dr. Ewen an e-mail with a copy of the paper I write for last term, for his reference, if he needs it, and to ask if he thinks it would be useful to try and get more info from the Limehouse site, or if I can use it for what I want without analyzing it in depth.
I will e-mail Dr. Parkerson and remind him that I will be gone on Wednesday and Friday next week.
I can actually do two of those things now, and afterwards, I might start the next section of 'Pieces', or try again to finish Kaia's character history.
