Now despite all appearances, the main purpose of this year is supposed to be for me to learn how to do research. I realize what with all the talk of hockey, and soccer, and lessons for this that and the other, that this fact may have slipped under the radar.
Happily enough, I've been working away at the research bit in quite a respectable fashion.
Who knew I'd have that sort of self control?
I think the secret is that I've completely and utterly exhausted all other sources of amusement. The doctor I'm working with was away for two weeks at the beginning of the year. During that time, I quite literally had nothing to do, so I read a LOT, I watched all the tv episodes on my computer multiple times, and I played Freecell till my eyes got blurry (I am a Freecell Grandmaster).
The point is that I've officially managed to make myself so bored with my usual 'diversion' activities, that I'd rather work on my research project instead.
It's like I've goofed off so much, that I somehow ended up hard-working.
I will have to modify my modus operandi to take advantage of this phenomenon.

pfft. I can take you on in Freecell! :D
I don't think you can. Sounds like the makings of an epic Freecell battle.
Si, you are such a nerd! If you weren't, you'd be able to procrasinate more effectively.
Anyways, so there are some really great new things going on with me. If you'd email me, you'd find out. (HINT! HINT!) Glad to hear you're enjoying your research. Hope I hear from you soon :)

PS. Hi Grace! I believe you, I bet you can beat Simon in freecell.
Hey Robin!
hahaha, thanks for the faith in my freecell skills.
how are things? life in women studies treating you well? have you gotten a chance to ski much this season? we got off to such a blah start this year...
I will not have my Freecell skills slandered on my own webpage!
Robbie, don't doubt my skillz. Because I have mad mad skillz.
I wish there was some sort of head-to-head battle Freecell I could lord over...
