Thesis Progress

We've been very busy here in Vancouver. Wedding preparations, moving stuff, building stuff, meeting people, inspecting houses (more on that later). Work has also been very busy with some pretty neat developments, though still light on customers. In general, I've been a pretty happy camel.

But today I was reminded about my thesis work, and it felt like the last straw. My mood went from "decent" straight to "crap". The thesis is a rather large chunk of work, and I'm really not looking forward to doing any of it. Still, I got home and got into it.

I've prepared a long email for one of my reviewers, asking questions and checking some details. I will need to edit it tomorrow before sending; I don't want my mood seeping through into the email. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day so I can edit it with a clear head. I'm hoping to get a quick response, and avoid doing a whole heap of work in the process. :)

In other news, I've been playing Mah Jongg while Stella and Grandma Mak are visiting. I'm picking up some random Chinese words, like "miao miao" (cat) and "shee-la" (you lose!). I'm also winning more often than I should be. ;) Mah Jongg is all about guess-timating probabilities, and I'm using that to my advantage. One day I'll sit down and work out whether the 5-valued tiles are really the best ones to have...

Anyway, off to bed. We've got a lot of Australian wedding invites to send out in the next few days. We'll see whether they get done tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after... Or whether the thesis "poongs" my time away...
