Was already suffering from lack of social skills at the time. Broke under the pressure of rye and ginger and had to go home to see my sweetheart (who is living in Weston while I plug away at academics alone downtown) on Sunday. And my Mum did come by and take he and I out for supper to an oyster house on Easter Monday (which was a debacle in terms of me not knowing that Rodney&#8217;s on King is closed Easter Monday, and then not knowing where in the hell the distillery district really is, but never mind I don&#8217;t have time to post about that now &#8211; still, mmm, tasty oysters!).<\/p>\n<p>However. <\/p>\n<p>I am now deep in the paper writing, and am struggling to neither watch TV, leave the house, think about home reno, or read LiveJournal. And my resolve is cracking. How often on a sunny spring Thursday afternoon do I get the opportunity to do WHATEVER I WANT, which includes NOT BEING IN AN OFFICE? Not that often. But I must, must, must finish (or at least get a really solid handle on) my papers, which means gluing myself to my computer.<\/p>\n<p>Help! Help! I want to go outside! Please post your support for me to remain indoors and maybe actually FINISH my Master&#8217;s degree this time around!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some of you may have noticed I&#8217;ve been a little quiet on LiveJournal recently.
