Proposals
Today I'm working on my dissertation proposal and I'm going reeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly slowly with it. Actually, I'm happy enough with how my ideas are shaping up, it's just that I feel like I'm saying the same thing ten different ways in order to follow the proposal conventions our lecturers laid out for us. One thing is becoming clear: I'm going to have to maintain my motivation and focus in order to avoid an eleventh hour panic situation, the thought of which fills me with horror (the panic situation that is, not the maintenance of my motivation although...). Classes are finished for this semester and we don't have any classes next semester apart from a weekly 2 hour workshop session which I look forward to. I think I'm best in a situation where there is a problem that I can help tackle. I've noticed that I am quick to put other people's ideas into fairly coherent language. What this says about me, I don't know, though it has brought up the whole question of what I want to do after this. I've stopped saying 'what I want to be when I grow up' simply because, at almost thirty, I suspect it might sound a little silly. So....perhaps more thoughts on that another time.
Dinner tonight is Vegetarian lasagne. I have flirted with the idea of going fully veggie a few times as we only eat meat a couple of times a week at the moment. I think it would take some education regarding meat alternatives and some practice cooking with beans and tofu and so forth. Perhaps I'm making excuses though, when the real truth is that I really like meat on my pizza and the odd bacon sandwich and I know I'm not too hot on the willpower thing (though I did well giving up smoking). Certainly the kind of meat LJ and I can afford to buy at the moment is probably not doing us any good and we would be nutritionally better off with a few chick peas and lentils. Eating veggie does seem to agree with me and it's cheaper too. Hmmm, I'll raise it again this evening (LJ incomunicado due to computer-game fixation at the moment). Perhaps I should look up some recipes and give my brain a rest from dissertation stuff for a while. Hang on...wasn't updating the blog supposed to be my break...oops
