Rain, rain, go away
The last couple of days have been very domestic. I cleaned, I baked (two kinds of muffins!), and I did laundry. Today I'm back at work. I was planning on going to campus, but the weather decided not to cooperate and I've misplaced my umbrella. *shrug* I have to go in this weekend anyway to return a library book that some heartless person recalled on me and pick up a book that I recalled from someone else. I think the plants in my office will survive until then.
I'm feeling pressure to finish my thesis. A friend of mine successfully defended her thesis on Monday--the first of our cohort to do so--and that's a clear sign that the end is near. She has a job offer contingent on her finishing her degree by the end of the month, so she's happy to be done. In accordance with her wishes, I didn't go to her defence, but we did go out to celebrate afterwards. It was a small but joyful gathering, and I actually managed to win a game of pool, sinking not only all eight of my own balls but also two of my opponent's (yeah, I need a little more practice).
