I shouldn't have expected anything less from a day when I have nothing to do but work. It only lets me become complacent that I'll have more time to get things done, when in actuality, I don't. Get as much done as if I'd left the house for 3 hours - about the time I spend at the Proprietary Library (which I haven't visited in weeks!) So you can tell, I'm slipping further and further behind on my dissertation with every passing day. Would you like to know what I DID manage today? A long overview of two online books (Friedrich Nietzsche's The Will to Power and Ernest Becker's Denial of Death). I guess I shouldn't beat myself up over progress - of any kind - but obviously, I still have no solid plan, and I would like to start writing this final chapter (final! it's so close now) by this weekend.
In other news, it's still snowing. I managed to get myself to Aldi this morning and, despite spending over £30 in one go (there was meat and a bit of alcohol), I ensured that I wouldn't need to go out again - at least not for anything major - for another week. Made myself a rather green curry, though did forget to buy more spinach.
It has occurred to me, on a much happier note, that I should be able to write a list of all the stuff I want to do in my free month at the end of this academic year (and my degree) so might consider that once I'm in bed soon. Oh, and, due to having written my review for next week's professional writing class last week, I don't have to fret too much over the writing side of things. And I have finished the reading side too. So onto poetry tomorrow! I have a deadline in just over a week!
