Today I came in at lunchtime expecting to do some work, and it appears I have spent 5 hours doing nothing.

nothing at all.

well… I did eat lunch and I have had 8 cups of tea. I even spent a good half hour reading all of the staff 20 question thingys on the schools website. I now know that lots of the lecturers here have very similar tastes in writers and no taste at all in music. 😉

And would you believe it I just distracted Emily (the other sociology blogger) with my musings on whether its “thingys” or “thingies”…

My motivation is at zero.

This might be because I’ve just had my last supervisor meeting of the year and although I leave them full of beans the few days after I find it hard to get started.

Never mind… Tonight Emily and I are going for a curry with some people we vaguely know. I started a face book group called “Not just another night out on the lash” because I was bored of just going to the pub. This way I could tempt friends and friends of friends into fun and frolics that might involve drinking but would also involve something more adventurous. Well since then a few of the people on the group decided to start going for curries together regularly. Which works out fine for me because my boyfriend HATES curry, so I have people to go with.

Yesterday was productive. I went to a http://www.britsoc.co.uk/ thing at Northumbria and met some REALLY interesting people… and I was also reminded of why I am not a fan of feminist sociology. (Yes gender is important, but I find a lot of people labouring under the F words are just as suppressive as the ideas they are fighting against.-but thats a rant for another time.)
