Thesis, again
Well, the intro has now been edited. I should write the conclusion today, as well as extensively edit chapter one. And think of a title. I'm so bad at thinking of titles... for me, a passable title would be: Chapter One - Scholarship on Shojo Manga.
I'm sitting in the Mechanical and Aerospace study room right now waiting for the boy to finish his problem set, and it's very strange. I feel very awkward taking up the computer for silly things like LJ when everyone is doing complicated looking things on MatLab or Mathematica or what have you. But I guess there are at least five other computers free now, so that should be ok.
This is just going to be a random post. Back in my growling at NJ mode because the weather just changed from an extremely sunny 78 degrees to a very cold and windy 40 some (Er,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hecatehatesthat, meant the upper east coast? Made you a pretty icon and all...). And to be honest, the past two days here were gorgeously sunny, with bright blue skies and Japanese magnolias blooming everywhere on campus. I hate winter on the east coast, but I absolutely adore fall and spring. Both seasons always remind me of poetry for no real good reason.
I'll cheer myself up by thinking of thing I'll do after the thesis is in:
- get roaring drunk with other people in my major. Well, the ones who aren't sleeping for four days straight.
- rereading His Dark Materials. I'm so mad; just remembered I gave mine to my sister so I could buy a new set. Except I haven't bought it yet! I'm so stupid.
- reading DWJ's Year of the Griffin, one of the late Dune books, Parable of the Talents and hunting down Kissing the Witch (thanks,heres_luck).
- rereading Sandman once I yoink it back from Cyrus. Thanks Cyrus!
- work more on that random fic of mine.
- make more icons
- make a website for my total excess of icons so at least they will be used somewhere.
- another outdoor picnic with friends when it's warm again.
- shopping for pretty spring/summer skirts! Everyone has these pretty bright flippy skirts! Yay bright colors!
That's a nice list to look forward to... just one more week to go!

It's today from Maryland northwards along the coast, I hear. Definitely chilly here, though I'm surprisingly not freezing after getting used to the heat the past couple days. Ah, the roller coaster of spring on the east coast.
And thanks for the icon, btw, it's purdy. Just like NJ. ;)

Buy the british editions! Buy the british editions! They were recently released in the US by Trade Paperback, I believe, and they have extra goodies at the beginnings of the chapters, illustrations by Pilip Pullman and more quotes he selected from poems and stuff. I already have the whole trilogy in hardcover and paperback, but I'm dying to get my hands on the british editions too. The have pretty constellation-covers. *drool*

And hey! Apparently I've got the British editions of "His Dark Materials"! Who knew? I haven't even cracked the spine yet (figuratively, not literally) but will do so once I finish school. Looking forward to it, hearing rave reviews everywhere :)
