(no subject)

Turns out I have way too much time on my hands.

Of course, there are things that I could be doing. Here's a sample:

* Writing to people asking them to be my new supervisor at extra short notice because my current one hasn't written to me in over two months.
* Writing articles for the EcoSoc newsletter
** Communism and Conservation
** Who's Afraid of Michael Markels?
*** I've started this one. So far I have: "Global warming is bad."
** Waquoit Bay
** The Dark Side of Organic Farming
** Vegetarians are Eating the Rainforests
** India’s Indigenous Knowledge Database
** Uses of common Scottish flora and fauna
** Why the Kakapo Matters
** Species Thriving Under Global Warming
** The Fur Trade – Will Banning Help?
** The Environmental Impacts of War
** Persistent Non-Stick Materials
** What Happens to Recycled Waste in the USA?
** Where Does the Environment Fit Into Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness?
** How Inaccessible is Inaccessible Is. to Invasives?
* Completing the modelling exercises we were given
* Signing up to a SUDS type for my Land Use and Water Resources course project
* Writing to WaBNERR to see if they want volunteers
* Writing to Holyrood Park to finalise monitoring stuff
* Writing my EcoSoc talk about volunteering in Edinburgh
* Volunteering in Edinburgh
* Finding out about working holiday visas in NZ
* Fine-tuning my dissertation plan
* Actually talking to people
* Etc.

I lack motivation right now, to say the least. But when I feel a twinge, maybe this list will come in useful.

i had a dream a couple of weeks ago that you were running along a beach dressed as a giant orange. it didn't seem all that unusual, and i'm still not sure it is, but i thought you should know.

Was she chanting "orangeorangeorangeorange" as she ran? Because that's how I'm imagining it.

i can't remember for sure now, but it would make sense.

I love lists. Making a list of things to do is usually more fun than actually doing them.

Ah well at least you have some (good) ideas. The motivation will come at some point I'm sure.

I'm glad you're back.
