My brain isn't currently in a state of wanting to settle down and do just the one thing, if that one thing involves the word study and the subject 'Internet Architecture and Protocols'. So, in the interests of promoting procrastination as a valid form of expressing this lack of a desire to study, have a go at some of these...
Ok, combine that with an email from he who is supervisor @ work, and what do you get? The end of a chapter in the textbook I'm reading ... yay!
For those who wanted to know ...

Right. I just did my mid-year thesis project presentation ... I don't want any more nerve-wracking things happening anymore! In the end, it was pretty casual, in terms of how the presentation went, but it just went to show that I have so much more work ahead of me ... and a lot less sleep to go on ... However, my supervisor and the rest of the panel were all very nice, but it just makes me feel even worse about not having done anywhere near enough work!
Anyways... time to catch up on either sleep or study for the lab exam this afternoon ... I'm very much looking forward to sleep but it's not going to happen for another three weeks at least... stressed out Droidy signing off !
*sigh* ... it's officially winter now, even though it's been rather unfun and chilly for a fair while now... possibly not helped by my general feeling cold when the outside temperature is below about 23 Degrees Celsius ... the good thing is... well, I still have a job, and an understanding employer... but the bad thing is, the understandingness has to do with exams. Yes they are soon to be happening ...
Speaking of jobness... jobness is much goodness... have managed to give one of my friends a shot at a job, and he's managed to impress them enough to hire him, so I'm happy ... I've just got to get the productivity back up ... it frustrates me that I haven't been able to do as much work over the last few days though ... partly tiredness, partly helping with getting people get settled in new job and allaying fears of unworthiness and other baggage, but the total output of my work in the last week isn't all that much ... and I feel bad because I am indeed being paid to do something I can definitely do, and I believe I can do a good job of it ... I'd better, because this is going part of the way to paying for those bits of a wedding that is having more things booked for the end of NOVEMBER this year. ... yes... eeek!
On the Friendly Neighbourhood Bride ™ front, there has been an expenses budget drawn up, we have most of a guest list, which really really really needs to be cut down without offending people's sensibilities, and things such as photographers, hairdressers, nail person (thanks G!), makeup, and other stuff, have already been booked, tentatively or otherwise, things like suit hire places and car rental places have had their preliminary research done on them, and a shortlist of reception venues has been collated thanks to the Decay, including promotional brochures and more useful things like price per head for packages which is what it partly boils down to ... Next on this front may or may not be some webspace devoted to this bridal freakout, and some other surprises in planning. I'm not telling yet, or it won't be a surprise!
Exams? I only have three of them... then there's the thesis presentation stuff in the next week. I am slightly mortified at the fact... public speaking is definitely not my forte ... and while I have done work on stuff, there isn't much to show physically ... I sort of wish it was the only subject I had left to do, instead of it having to compete with three subjects, part time work, and wedding planning ... as it stands, I should do ok, but it's a bit haphazard with everything going on at once... actually getting into the wedding planning is fun, now that stuff is actually moving forward, instead of just being in the pipe dream stage where not even tentative enquiries could be made... argh. I'm having wedding on the brain. Everything seems to come back to planning for this one day ...
This update brought to you at the friendly email banteringness of a certain cellist of Fourplay, all-round nice bloke ...
