Back in the saddle

01.08.2006

Coming down from a holiday season is difficult. Especially if the holiday "break" is drawn out over nearly three weeks. But back to work I am, trying to return to my pre-holiday pace towards finishing my dissertation in the next few months. The last few days have involved me slowly going over the first three chapter drafts w/ care, fixing minor bugs here/there, filling gaps (a paragraph here, a sentence there), and all around getting the first half of the project polished for review.

The other difficulty of post-holiday time is resuming my normal day-to-day routine. No more DVD binges, no more sleeping in until hungry, no more readily available Christmas cookies & other snacks. Time to make my own coffee in the morning, and my own lunch & dinner during the day.
