elanya at 11:54pm on 16/01/2006Today I didn't get up until nearly eleven. I fucked around on the internet, and watched the rest of the episode of House I'd been watching right before I left for Sacramento. I did some banking: paying internet bills, and so on, so that if everything is in order I can go and pay off my tuition balance tomorrow. I made room on my Visa, because then I didn't have to mess around with getting Canadian funs to my US bank. Hopefully the transfer will have cleared by tomorrow, but I'll check first.
After some more useless dithering (also a shower), I headed out to buy some groceries. I got back with some basics around 4:30: hardly enough time to do anything productive before dance class. I got my stuff together for that and left shortly after five. I should have left *at* five: I was a hair late, but so were lots of people, so whatever. I think I am learning one of the new dances quite well. The sessions seem so short this tie around, but I think that is just because we are trying to do so much more with the time. The cane dance eludes me, but I don't like it so much and so I am less inspired and generally care less. I got home and watched a newly downloaded episode of house and made dinner, and then spent most of the rest of the night Icing with Bronwen online, as it was her birthday. I have also done some laundry.
So, a decent day for house necessaries and personal hygiene (I'm having an excellent hair day ;), but a crap day for thesis progress. Tomorrow will also be a bust due to all the other stuff I have to do, unless I can get something done tomorrow night. I do have an article to read, at least, and after tomorrow I'll have a better idea what the workload will be for my one other class. I really have to get moving on writing. And I can do this. I really really can. I have to. Rar.
I think I will make myself do regular progress reports to try and keep on track, with thesis writing. maybe with other writing as well. I will try and get out a short 'Pieces' excerpt this week as well. It is all about making myself stick to deadlines.
Also, I am strongly considering switching to Cable (cox) over DSL (Sprint). Anyone have arguments for or against? Cox is running a deal until the end of the month where I can get 19.95/mo for the first three months, and get a full rebate on a motorola modem. I do have a cable jack, though I don't have a tv, and I don't think I get free cable here.
