oh, the timewasting

[rhyll]

I told Jie that I would finish this chapter before I leave. Which is in ten days. Four of which are weekend-days, and experience tells me that weekend-days are not productive, university wise. I can live with not delivering, but it would be nice if I could actually give him something. Blergh.

Plus I have to get ready for this talk I'm giving next Thursday, which I've only outlined so far.

Plus I have a bit of getting-ready stuff to do (buying some clothes, buying some medicines, locating prescriptions that I put in a 'safe place', buying a digital recorder, etc etc).

Plus there are a heap of other things I should do, uni-wise, mostly transcription and applications for various Free Moneys.

And yet I keep wandering into the Interweb, and getting stuck there. Some of it is vaguely productive, a lot of it isn't really. Most of it I find unsatisfying on a deep level, like I am filling bits of my soul up with styrofoam balls. Once again: Blergh.

And now I have just noticed that I am blowing my nose an awful lot, and my throat is tingling, and all signs point to oncoming sickness, which I think I vaguely attribute to the Interwebs, all those styrofoam balls are gumming up my system.

It's probably going to be ok, though. It usually is. I'm looking forward to seeing what its like working for an NGO. I'm looking forward to possibly-maybe having goals that I can achieve in the short term, and feeling a little less lost. I'm looking forward to working with people, rather than sitting alone in a room with my computer for the majority of every day.

i should keep that 'filling bits of my soul up with styrofoam balls' handy since i also find it too easy to waste hours on the Internet!

I should probably write it on my screen or something, as a Dire Reminder of Time Lost.
