LOVE IS POISON

I have decided that weekends are officially abolished until I finish my thesis. Every day is waking up at 8am, no exception. I still stayed up until 1am, 1am and 2am (*) these past three days, but I'm confident that if I keep waking up at the crack of dawn sooner or later I'll have to start going to bed at a reasonable hour.
Yesterday I finished the next snippet of my thesis and sent it to my advisor. I feel horrible about it because it took me a month to write five measly pages that are mostly a rehash of what's in the book I read. Still, at least if it sucks he'll tell me and I'll know what to do.
Need to phone the other professor and talk about my last exam. Need to write about n-spheres. Instead I'm staring at my inbox and dreading a reply.

(*) = I blame on the fact that nobody had told me what the plot of White Collar was. So when I came across the wiki article I was all FFFF CON MEN! WHY ISN'T THIS IN MY LIFE ALREADY. And sleep got shuffled to the bottom of my priorities again. Because I really needed to start watching another show, I'm only following, like, 27.

❧ So I'm sitting here with my afternoon tea, in which I put no milk in a vague attempt at stopping this feeling of nausea that's been going on since last night. I'm alternatively hungry and feeling like I want to puke, which makes no sense really. I just hope I didn't catch a stomach bug or anything.
I should be studying now, but I'm stuck at the page with Jensen's Inequality and I swear it's teasing me. My mind keeps wandering elsewhere. GEE, I WONDER WHY.

❧ Despite this, writing is still very slow. I'm writing some ficlets, have one ready to be betaed at this time and hopefully the one for merlin_muses is coming soon too, but nothing else. I haven't been working on Alcyon in forever, even though at the beginning of the summer I was all fired and ready to sketch down the whole plot for a change. There's just too many characters, and I can never make up my mind on which sides there are, let alone who's siding with who.

❧ Meanwhile last night I had a dream with an actual plot, and it was actually pretty awesome, and I think I can tie it to an idea that I've been tinkering with and turn it into a story. At first I thought it would be kind of boring, and besides since the main character is me in my dream it would be a blatant self-insert anyway, but then I thought I could make it work if I wrote it as a choose-your-own adventure. And, y'know, I like the idea. I like it a lot! And I've been replaying Choice of Vampire and making different choices really affects the scenes I got, so I think it could really work with a similar engine. Here's to hoping I don't get sidetracked again.

❧ ALSO, I WANNA DO THE 30 DAYS MEME TOO SINCE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT, BUT AFTER I FINISH READING THIS CHAPTER. FFFF JENSEN'S INEQUALITY.
