just another week
It's been two weeks since the end of class. It's been one week since I handed in my last assignment. The weekend passed as a blur of nothingness. Unproductivity danced with the sloth of my body, which had for some reason converted to eastern standard time. Little activity has been the standard for the rest of the week. Monday I retrieved my debit card from a pub where I had left it even though we had left after only two pints. Following its retrieval I then went to the library where I took out a book and then returned home stopping for a few groceries along the way. Tuesday is a bit of a blur, which leads me to believe that nothing much had happened possibly some reading of the book which I had taken out the day prior but I really can't be very certain. The following day, being yesterday, was unusually productive. My canadian lawyer friend from upstairs came down and convinced me to go for an english breakfast with him. This seems to be becoming something more usuall then if should. Although the breakfasts are very nice and filling, they seem to be incredibly fried and probably not much for the health. But at 4 quid it's a pretty good bargan. Following breakfast, I escorted my friend to the barbershop that I've found that is less then unreasonable(relatively) and better then good. I left him there and the preceeded to the library. At the library I found three books I was in search for then a nice chair in which to read as the sun came through the window and crossed the room. I was there for about three hours reading(I'm guessing and probably over estimating, just to sound more productive). After reading the important bits I consigned myself to take out two of them and leave the third. I then returned home walking along the Thames. Yesterday was by far the most productive studying I've done in, well, possibly ever. It was followed by a day not nearly as productive. Today.
I think the culmination of today has to be the instant mashed potatoes I made for a late lunch.
Tomorrow is uncertain, I'm not sure what to do. I've recently discovered that I'm actually going to have to do some research for my dissertation which is disheartening to say the least. For someone as lazy as I am I seem to have gone quite far in this education thing. Besides that the Dissertation has really started to form, at least in my head. "An Evolution and Future of Leadership, in a Post-Hero Society" is the working title which I was able to scrible down drunk on sleep in the middle of the night(early morning) some weeks ago. I guess I should have seen it coming though eh? I mean "evolution" is in the title I should probably base that on something closer to fact right? I think I've figured out how I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna hopefully find a bunch of pamphlets and guides on who to be a good leader and hopefully they'll lead to different ideals as time progresses. I think I've found one from the first world war 1916, and one from the second (1942) personally I'd like to find some from interwar periods just because I think that conflict has a habit of changing things but we'll see what's out there, there's got to be something. I'll secumb to secondary resources if I have to but it won't make me happy. What really makes me unhappy is that I know now that I'll have to spend some time in the archives... I hate the archives. GAH! and I'll probably have to do that soon just incase it screws over what I want to say in the dissertation itself.
