little things that matter

12-hour days and other myths

well, it's not really a myth, but it's a myth in my life. i don't think i've actually spent 12 hours working in any one day over the last god-knows-how-many-years. however, having slacked off enough this summer, i started working on a paper 2 days that was given at the beginning of the semester (late may...feels like forever ago). didn't accomplish much other than looking up papers etc on tuesday, but yesterday i spent over 12/13 hours just working on the paper. took a shower, lunch and dinner (+ CSI bonus) break. i don't think i've had this productive a day all summer! my productiveness description for this semester has been the completion of one to two-page proposals, or one to two pages of a 5 or 7 page proposal. anyway, enough detail about that stuff. in short, i've finished the paper basically with only an additional hour today...just a few minor things to write and then to edit. oh the wonders of the beautiful (but fried) mind! now contemplating what to do this weekend....shit loads of work to do, as my previous posts can vouch to, but god it's the weekend! spare me a saturday and sunday! (stop whining, you say? why, cuz i've spent every weekend in the summer not working? is that a crime? tell me, is it?) little devil in my head says to go attend another cottage invite...
