I've decided that the best way to ensure that I get my thesis done by the end of the year is to stay here in the library until close every night (closes at 10pm, so it's really not that late). The only problem with this plan is that it's like an ice box in this library and I feel like I should have lugged my winter gear out here to put up with such extreme climes! Instead, I am wrapped in my too-thin pashmina scarf feeling my nose go numb. Oh well. One must suffer. ;-)

So, holing away in the library probably won't give rise to the most scintillating blog entries, but you never know... besides, I've got a few trips planned for the coming month. Can't spend every second working! And let's not forget about sailing- tomorrow is lesson 2.
