What on earth possessed me to think that a practical dissertation would be a goof idea. You end up doing at least twice the amount of work as you would doing a research dissertation. I have about a month, so it's not like I'm totally pressed for time or anything, but it still makes you very aware of how much work you've done and how much more you ( Read more... ) -

Spent a couple of hours at the National Gallery. I forgot how much I love that place until I was standing in front of a da Vinci thinking, "Shut up! I'm standing in front of a da Vinci!"

Whoot!
I just came in first in a pub quiz with a couple of the people on my floor. Officially, we came in second, but the mod acknowledged cheating on the side of the winning team. Nothing that could be concretely proved, of course. PLus, it's just a pub quiz. Nothing big at stake. We had fun and I think we'll be going again in 2 weeks. -
