Meh

Am irrationally cranky today, for only two discernable reasons:

1) I slightly botched the formatting on my book review citation.

2) A whopping number of two people will be coming tomorrow night for dinner.

While a smaller number for dinner is good, so I won't be spending money I really shouldn't be spending on this (kitchen gear, table settings, cutlery, glasses, something to hold the trifle, the food itself and a bottle of rum and brandy), I had hoped for at least a few RSVPs. I sent an e-mail to other first years and basically bribed them with free lobscouse and booze. To what levels I have sunk. I haven't even written the toast yet, and worse, I don't really feel like it.

As for number two, I really need to finish my damn papers sooner and proof them better. I want to be this prof's GA but with sloppiness like this, I'm worried he won't even want me. Ugh. That's the crux of my crankiness, I think.

I am going to watch some David Tennant, have a cuppa tea, and try to think happy thoughts. Hopefully tomorrow I will be in a better mood!

we all have our academically incompetent days... some of us actually have academically incompetent weeks. then there are the people who have academically incompetent lives - thank goodness you're not one of them!

tomorrow will get better. and if tomorrow doesn't get better, then the day after that will be better.

and hey, that means more for you ^_~ just trying to look on the bright side of things.

David always cheers people up. He's just so damn cute.

I am jealous of the two people who get to go to your dinner. If I lived even remotely close to you ( like in the same country ), I would be the first one there......


The spirit of Aubrey and Maturin be with you....

Someone better tell the "Aubrey, pass the salt" anecdote !
