Just found out that I am due to give an honours halfway talk in 3 weeks time. Why wasn't I informed of this earlier? Argh!!

Okay, let's be civil. Don't panic, before we start throwing chairs and pulling our hairs out why don't we all take a deep breath and calm down..

*inhale....

*exhale...

"Wan, I don't know how many academics will be attending your talk. They don't usually ask questions for the halfway talk but that rule seems to have been broken last year. Be well prepared."

ARGH!!

*kicking and screaming*

*shredding scientific journals*

*kicking a sleeping dog*

*urinating in public places*

After that seemingly act of wanton destruction, I am the picture of serenity now.

*birds chirping in the sky, a rainbow on the horizon, the smell of freshly cut grass*

From now on, I promise that there will be no more procrastination. Full steam ahead. Even if the house burns down, I will not budge.

Except when I'm hungry. Or The Simpsons is on the TV. Or a rugby game is on. Or the toilet paper runs out. Or when I need a new pair of socks. Or when I want a nice cup of latte with 2 sugars. Or when the weather is too cold.

Other than that, I would never leave my workspace.

Never.
