Stress!

I've not yet slept decently this week. I had opportunities to, but I always ended up staying up, and it's showing on me now - I can't keep my eyes open, and just slumbered through Roy Dyckhoff's lecture. I would have stayed in bed, but I hadn't been to any of his lectures in weeks.

Just forgetting about the Chemistry lecture seems like an option, but I wouldn't sleep in the afternoon anyway - there's another meeting about this everlasting presentation. That's what kept me up last night, I was at a flat in town until close to 1am putting it together along with the rest of the group.

We were going to use a laptop, but Lynsay demonstrated her incredible talent for breaking computers very early on - as soon as she switched it on, Windows XP crashed out with the Blue Screen of Utter Catastrophe (which Microsoft thoughtfully replaced the Blue Screen of Death with - XP may not crash often, but when it crashes, it doesn't mess about.) So we relocated to another computer in the flat - Microsoft Publisher is a surprisingly rare thing to find on someone's computer, which limits our options a bit.

It's nearly finished, at least, but I want to proofread it all, and some people are doing a sort of pull-out supplement as well... I really think that's a bit unneccessary, especially seeing the meeting is at four and reprographics is only open until five... and it has to be in tomorrow.

I have now decided that it's true what [livejournal.com profile] prophettenebrae says - a joint degree will kill me. (By the way, you haven't updated in ages - I miss trying to understand your cryptic LJ comments.)

Yeah, well look on the bright side you can still change poor Billy lives in a small hut between JHB and the Maths Building.

I'll update again sometime.

have a word with reprographics beforehand so they know the job is coming, they may have a lot to do and so may not have time to do it if only given it at 4
