I haven't worked on my thesis in days, and that makes me sad ;_; However, I didn't do anything at all yesterday, pretty much. Today was quite productive, in contrast. I have my presentation planned, and I'm just writing it. Then I need to throw together an outline and some Powerpoint slides. Easy-peasy. I'm over half done the actual talk, and I think it is coherent and all that jazz. I'm on track! Lets hope I can stay there :p

I have noticed a few things inhibiting my ability to work efficiently from home. First is my desk set up. My chair is just fucked beyond all repair. It is pretty much backless, which means my back hurts when I sit :/ I need a new chair. the second is something that I learned to work around: I find music much less distracting when I am wearing headphones, at least for writing. I can write and listen to music okay, but headphones, for some reason, make it even less distracting. I am not sure how that works. Maybe it just seems less distinguishable for the music in my head? Anyway, it seems to be working. Also, I've been working at Eller quite a bit lately, partly because they have more comfy chairs, I'm sure ;p Also, the internet is less distracting there. Maybe I just need to clear off my desk table here. Doesn't help when I'm writing, though. Enough! I'm going to read some serial, and go to bed :D I'd actually keep working but I have to get up tomorrow :p

Oh, I have to e-mail Joe Flatman and Dr Ewen tomorrow. Rar.
Mood:: 'satisfied' satisfied
Music:: Marianne Faithfull - Wherever I Go
