Easter in Aldis - The Missing Days

With the plan to blog my way through Easter, informing everyone of the ongoing struggle to defeat the dissertation, I began in earnest on Day One (quite naturally), and then on what was Day Four, I wrote about Day Two.

And that was about it.

Essentially, each day ran much as the last.  In the library soon after 9am, working on the Project with as much effort and motivation as I could muster.  Finding food for the evening from somewhere or other, and getting to bed not too late in order to do the same again the next day.

But now I'm home for the weekend.  And have been markedly more productive, which is nice.  It has been a good Good Friday.  The reminder to me being that Christ, his death and resurrection is far, far bigger than my dissertation will ever be.  Ever.

Easter in Aldis - Day One.

It's colder inside Aldis than it is outside, I'm sure of it.  They've turned the heating off - sensible, true, but a slight pain.  The little "Cornwall-heater" is doing pretty well.

I should be in the library, working on the dissertation.  But instead I sit at my desk looking out to a very wet Northwood, knowing that the library is likely colder than it is in Aldis, and I disinclined.

Add to this the increasing mountain the dissertation seems to be, and I'd far rather watch the wit of Toby Ziegler and Josh Lyman.  However, to the library I must go - knowing that it will be a painful start, but knowing equally that I have no choice but to complete it.  We shall see how we end up.......
