And so it has...

...the sun. Come out. Today (which was tomorrow yesterday). If you follow what I mean. Yeah.

So, I'm feeling a lot more chipper today than yesterday. I think the combination of an evening of drinks and friends (watching "The Opposite Sex" in The Concrete Club with Charlie and Karen providing dialogue and trite observations was a great way to end the night), and a good night's sleep (I gave up even trying to sleep in my room and went directly to sleeping in the lounge, thanks to noisy television-watching-to-all-hours-of-the-morning neighbours) has done the trick.

And offered a bit of perspective.

Why was I so drab and dull yesterday? Because my mark came back, and I was stuck in that stupid place of getting a good mark, but wanting more (I think I'm supposed to be leaving everyone else wanting more, not myself...). Now I'm just happy with the mark.

Twas an A-. Which is a distinction. Which, all in all, is damn good. Especially when I stop to consider the general crappiness of thesis writing in the last two to three months of the whole process.

Now this thesis is well and truly a write off. But somehow I don't think I'll start again next thesis.
