well, the fog and cold and mist came back, at least for one day so far. This morning the sun shone brightly through the misty haze, and I was glad I’d brought my hoodie with me as I headed off to work. It was a good weekend really, and I got a lot done on my thesis — 11 pages so far, which isn’t a lot, but it’s better than nothing.

it’s been a long time now. the days are getting shorter, the afternoons die quicker, and the night reigns a little bit longer every day. the last vestiges of summer are betaking themselves elsewhere, to the realm in which they sleep. and september has left us, yielding to october. I’ve not taken the time to write on here, really, since I’ve felt it would be neglecting my duties as a student — that is, finishing my thesis. But I do miss getting my thoughts out on here, so here I return once again. (more…)
