Feb. 23rd, 2009 03:19 pmI have a bucketload of work that needs doing. I really, really do. I have loads of reading to do, primarily, for both classes and for debates and revision and stuff. I am mildly scuppered by the lack of books in the library in one case, and the fact that there is nothing approaching a coherant reading list for the other. I think I might just not bother with it, and concentrate on the far more scary-but-coherant reading for my actual tasks that need completing in the next few weeks.
Or I could do what I did yesterday, which was sort out everything that needs booking and done for DocSoc over the next month, do all the recyling, complete my backlog of washing, clean my room, sort out my wardrobe, clean the rest of the house in the spirit of completism, wash all the throws, bathmats and various towels and then, because it was late, watch Come Dine With Me and My Super Ex-Girlfriend. Which was pants. But there we are.
All things considered, it was actually a surprisingly productive day, and I got all the jobs I've been meaning to do for about a week done. It's lovely to be in a room where I've got all the surfaces cleared, rather than what I've had over the last month, which was semi-organised and neat piles and stuff that I hadn't yet bothered to plow through. Unfortunately, this is unlikely to help towards my degree.
I'm just having a lot of difficulty dealing with this topic, because I'm so over my head; it means I just don't want to do the reading, which is really lazy of me and clearly will not help me actually understand the topic. It also doesn't help that instead of concentrating on work, everyone I know is just panicking about jobs and AGMs and stuff. Which is not good, really, but there we are. I was phoned by work just after nine this morning about overtime. If had been coherant I would have taken it; at least I would have been paid for today!
