could you just revise it for me?

The trouble with having a built-in wireless card, instead of one I can remove & hide, is that it makes it really hard to get off the internet and revise my thesis.

I am so close to being done! There's just a couple sections I need to ponder & add words to (& one citation I want to put in that I cannot find for the life of me & it's really frustrating), & Mum's going to copy-edit, & it's due Tuesday. I'm pretty proud of it, really, but I will be very glad to have this thing done with.


ALSO I went to Folklife today, & I was a little dynamo of energy for most of it--I literally couldn't sit still & I kept yelling about things excitedly (when I saw Melissa I actually just yelled--or maybe squawked--for about three minutes, because I couldn't say anything, because I was too excited). There was good food, & seeing many many wonderful people, & music and contradancing & finding pretty things at the Uncommon Market with Cozy & getting henna (which is really not coming out very strong, rrgh) & basically just soaking in the beauty that is the atmosphere of Folklife. I'm going back tomorow evening (I have to do homework all day) to see umissable music (The McKassons! Jamie Leval, guys! Seriously, go), & then, assuming that homework-doing was successful, all day Monday. YES.

...so I should really get back to that thesis. Three more days, then this is off my hands forever!

If the crusty bits are still on the henna, soak it in lemon juice. Helps to darken it.

Here's a trick - disable your internet through the control panel. Then if you ever see yourself going to the control panel to turn it on, you can stop yourself.

Hmm...if it ever gets drastically bad I'll try that. Trouble is I tend to use the internet thesaurus (open office's I hate) & dictionary & the OED quite a bit, so....eeep.

OpenOffice annoys me in general...

You could always get book versions. I hear they still exist ;)

Well, I haven't the ready cash to get myself M$Word, so openoffice it is. It's not so bad, really, I'm getting used to it.

Pffft. But the internets is free...

Just jack it from a home computer :-P

And so is the library...

[identity profile] elanor-two.livejournal.com 2007-05-28 03:54 am (UTC)(link)
Meh. I might when I go home. We'll see how technosavvy I can be.

Yes. & the library is also a long walk away at night when it's closed. :D
