wordfalls and scatters

This week has been painful. I've been filling in for our admin assistant, trying to mark a stack of essay plans, and preparing for the lectures that I gave today and on tuesday. Also, I've had a cold and a sore throat that's been steadily building up - I suspect that it's still getting worse. Still, I feel reasonably happy about how things have gone. I've been busy, but it's mostly felt like a productive kind of busy-ness. Also, I saw my supervisor, and he thought my last chapter draft was quite good. He also said that when my 3rd and 4th chapters look like that, I will only have a month to go.

Let's take a moment to mull on that, dear reader. At some point in the future, I will only be a month away from finishing my PhD. Did you get shivers? I got shivers.

For now, it feels ridiculously decadent that all I have to do for the next hour and half is stamp a stack of essays and blow my nose. Thrills!
