Semi-interesting events

I went to bed at two a.m. yesterday, after finishing the bibliography. It took forever. In the end I could not even see straight and I kept rubbing my eyes: is it Foucault or Faucoult?

Got up at seven to print the whole thing and take it to the binder's. Where I was asked *again!!!* if I was a famous children's book writer. No, I am not. No, seriously, I am BLOODY not. That is someone else with a very similar name. She got married and now she has this combination of name surname, which is almost exactly like mine.

People keep asking me if I am her and when I tell them I am not, they are very disappointed. Sorry to dissapoint you, but I am just me. Not the brilliant genious children's book writer. Meh.

Took the dissy to the post office and after twenty minutes of focused form filling-in and discussing the centrality or periferality (hehe, I know that is not a word) of the destination city the little package was ready to go.

So it left me. Two years of blood, sweat and tears packed in that little package, on its way to conquer the world.

I felt a bit left behind, a bit lonely. What am I supposed to do with all this free time???!?

Exactly! Could he not have gotten himself a nicer name? Or at least the decency not to get cited all over the place?

Well, blogging is quite a good way of spending a lot of time. Even better if alternated with a few glasses of wine. Then you start to read all those books you've been saving up and those recordings of TV programmes everyone has been talking about - and then about 10 minutes later, you are suddenly so busy and stressed about lack of time that the dissy seems a distant and surreal memory.

Or perhaps not, if you have more self-discipline than me.

No, no self-discipline here. Whatsoever. So I think blogging might be just the thing I need :)
