I am LOVING not working this week :D

Posted Date: Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 2:06 AM
Even though I am super poor (got my bank statement from last month, and I was going through it, and suddenly, "Hold on boys, what does OD mean?  Oh."  Yes, I have gone into my overdraft for the first time ever ever!  But it was only a cashflow issue, because my fee payment cleared quicker than I expected (stupid Bank Holidays meant I had to pay early) and my pay-cheque didn't, but I still feel a bit irresponsible.)

1) I've started my next chapter and it's going disturbingly well.  I actually have a cool argument for this one: I'm experimenting with sub-headings and it's really helping me organise my thoughts (why didn't I do this six chapters ago?).  The other benefit is you can really up your ridiculous-puns-to-ordinary-text ratio in one manouevre.  Everyone's a winner.
2) Pat sent me a really nice, encouraging message about my paper; I've done a rewrite too so it's very extremely short and I won't be rushed.
3) I've stolen Michel Thomas learn French off the internet and I'm practising my French.  It's fun so far, only the woman learning on the tape is SO STUPID and MT has to keep telling her off.  He clearly favours the other student who, coincidentally, is not an utter fool.  So far the longest sentence I can say is, "It is not very different like that but it is important for me, thankyou."
4) I've signed up for wists.com.  Everyone on craftster has it and it's pretty useful, especially for knitting patterns, where the names of patterns bear no relation whatsoever to the appearance.  I did get a bit of a shock, though, when I was clicking through the pages people had tagged with knitting and saw that someone had wisted one of my finished objects from craftster!

In conclusion, I like not working but don't really want it to continue beyond next week.
