Where Are My Keys?

...With the Nature essay complete, focus now turns to revision. What a bastard concept. What is it about revision that makes it nearly impossible to do? Ugh.

Actually, you know what is hilarious. I am writing a blog about my hatred for revision and I haven't even begun! Haha. Christ. Well, it does start tomorrow night, or at least Monday.

Thursday night was a great night. Nothing spectacular, yet nothing horrible. A quality night out with some quality people. I'm mainly glad Mark had a fun time as it was his birthday and some of our close friends couldn't be there - Not by choice, but by that big large of chunk of sea in the way. Damn it. Damn it to hell.

I think my night out was made better by the fact that I had completed my essay on time, bar that little extra bit of conclusion. I was proud of my motivation to do the work. I spent a lot of time in the library last week, albeit, not all 100% efficient, but nonetheless worthwhile. I hope my next few weeks I can keep this ethic up. I have 3 papers this semester, 2 of which require hardcore revision.

I plan to just be in the library at lot over the next few weeks, just being there, surrounded by people doing work, motivates me. I'm also going to try listening to some classical music while revising. Normally I listen to some nice, chilled out tunes, such as Boards of Canada, with even some Arcade Fire and Foals - Which was surprisingly not distracting, as normally music with lyrics is quite so.

Hopefully I'll report back to here in a good spirit and NOT while I'm supposedly revising. Haha.

Oh well, ta ta for now.

Matt.
