Yup, it was sticky. I am now offically taking a ten-minute break from my thesis, even though Bella is gone for the rest of the day and night and I should be treating every moment alone as golden thesis time&#8230; I need my breaks. In fact, while working on my thesis, I keep an scrap piece of paper on hand (a once-used envelope actually) and write down all the things I WISH I were doing instead of working on my thesis.<\/p>\n<p>My summer thesis schedule:<\/p>\n<p>Wake up at 5 am. Go for a run.<\/p>\n<p>Start working by 6 am, in order to get three hours in before she wakes up.<\/p>\n<p>Get three more hours in during the course of the day, and unpack my new house during my breaks.<\/p>\n<p>For some reason, it seems to be taking me until 8 or 9 at night to get the six hours in&#8230; sigh. Actually I only started yesterday, and I did get in five hours. Not bad for a first day&#8217;s work. I&#8217;m at three hours right now and it&#8217;s 5:30 pm.

One day was sitting in a side cubicle at my boyfriend&#8217;s library all day while he worked. That was pretty good. I spent another day at University of California, Irvine&#8217;s library. That is a great library &#8211; makes me want to go to school there, even though my sister says that going for a doctorate wouldn&#8217;t be such a good idea for a procrastinator like me.<br \/>\nWhoops out of time.
