Peace at last
Well I've finally completely finished my dissertation. I'm sitting in a computer room on Normal Site waiting for it to be bound. Should be ready in about three-quarters of an hour: I'll take it to the Music Department and go home to bed. I probably shouldn't have stayed up til 1:00 last night since I had to get up at 6:30 to get to the bindery on time.
The finished beast is 79 pages long. Okay, so the main text of it is double-spaced and over twenty of those pages are appendices, but that's still a lot of work. The main text is about 14,500 words long (waaaayy over the word limit of 11,000 but never mind, eh?).
I really don't have anything to say, you know. I'm just entertaining myself by typing things. Somebody's left their car keys in the computer room .. I think I might give them to security in a bit. I'm talking to my friend Adam in Japan which is nice. He's eating bread filled with strawberry jam and whipped cream. I'm not sure I approve.
Okay so two more essays to do by Thursday week, then I'm completely finished everything. One's on Sgt Pepper which should be fairly easy since I studied it for my Leaving Cert. But the second one's on Manuel de Falla's keyboard music which I know absolutely nothing about. Challenging ..
No, look, there's no point writing about nothing. I'll go read the Sam Burnett report instead.

Bread filled with strawberry jam and whipped cream? Sounds delish - now, are we talking a sandwich or a doughnut here?
Well done on the dissertation, though! I've got a 20-minute presentation to prepare for 12 o'clock.
Not a doughnut. I don't know that it's a sandwich either. From the description, it sounds like a roll with the strawberry jam and whipped cream tucked inside. Like a doughnut, but not made of doughnutty dough. Made of bread dough.
