Trying to sort out my working life today. I have three essays due in for two weeks time. I'm feeling more productive than usual, however, there are a few stumbling blocks that my computer has placed in front of me. Perhaps writing this post is causing procrastination, actually, it DEFINITELY is causing procrastination. I went to Hatherley last night, was quite fun - had a perfect amount of wine to cause the desired effect of both fun and sensibility. Woke up early and haven't really accomplished as much work as I had hoped to do. I'm new at this.

I think three goals makes this very achievable and like all good plans for the future, these plans are designed to work with each other to produce pleasing results.

I really have to get this work out of the way! Also, I wonder if my writing is improving. I'll look on-line to see if I can try and improve this skill..
