Of course it didn’t work that way. The Monday was lost anyway, to the hike, and the ceiling. And I still had things to attend; on Tuesday we had to practice for the upcoming Palaeoceanography practical; I was seconded by two people who weren’t familiar with the forams it was all about. And there was a somewhat trying meeting about the Welcome Week on Thursday. And on Friday a big chunk of my day was taken up by an external guest speaker. It was a pleasure; she was lovely and her talk was great! But I left to pick her up from the railway station at 10.40 and I was back after dropping her off at 14:30. And the time in between all these commitments was largely taken up by the pesky dissertation topic allocation. So when the weekend came I still had a truckload of work to do! And the only way of dealing with that is just sitting down and doing it. So my Saturday was filled! And on Sunday I hoped to be done by lunchtime but that wasn't happening. I took a break at half past two to go for a run. It might be dark by the time I would be properly finished!
When I had finished the feedback on the last draft essay I did something else onerous; I had been having issues with my internet and I finally got around to contacting my provider and informing them of the issue. I hope it gets sorted! It's a pain if your internet switches itself off all the time.
By the time that was done it was time to cook dinner. A weekend gone! And next weekend there is an Open Day and I have to be there. No rest for the wicked yet! I have hopes for Christmas...
