so very tired

I'm at that stage where I feel fairly sure that I could put my head down on my desk and just fall asleep straight away. Instead, I am trying to learn about how monopolies influence liberal political systems, and trying not to fret too much about my impending talk with Jie. Or the internship I'm meant to be applying for in the next week or so. Or the other internship that I still need to find a group to work with for. Or the looming cleaning-for-bond-inspection.

Last night's sleep was not made better by awful B-grade horror movie nightmares. I remember repeatedly stabbing things in the head with a sword, and them not dying, and wishing (in my dream) that whatever was going to kill me would just do it instead of torturing me and chasing me and generally terrifying me first.

It doesn't seem like a terribly productive way to spend my sleeping hours.

Today I shall put in my first effort at cycling home from uni. Given that I've hardly cycled at all since I got back from India, I predict that it'll be horribly painful.

I am, all in all, feeling rather sooky about things.

Hopefully it'll all get better when I get home because no internet + no computer means that I just can't do any work there, so I don't need to fret about it. Instead I can just think about how lovely it is to have a new house to arrange, and a nice kitchen, and how pleasant it will be when I get my box of Kitchen Things from dad's house, and what lovely housemates I have, and so on.

Possibly also spend some time getting through the list of favours I'd like to repay, too, and set up some presents/surprises for various people.

It'll probably be okay, then.

Internets, please help, # 480

Current dilemma: how to transport my laptop to and from home without having to catch buses/trains. Right now the plan is to cycle to and from uni as much as possible, although given current levels of fitness and motivation this might not eventuate. Still, given that it's the ideal I'd like some ideas on how to move my laptop via bicycle - not too often, I'm planning on leaving it at work, mostly. I was considering sticking some kind of crate to the carrier on the back of my bicycle, and perhaps tying the laptop into that. Concerns: will it get jolted around too much? What if it rains?

Ideas are welcome!
