I'm doing 43 things
My dissertation is due in September. I met my supervisor today and as a result feel terribly behind schedule: I only have a vague idea of my argument and have to choose between two possible topics, both of which are equally feasible. EEK! How can I choose? Intuition? Just choose the thing that sounds cooler? I’ve tried about a million decision making techniques and still don’t know what I’m doing. Maybe I need to take a break and come back to this later? Blech.

I’m planning to go to India for a couple of months sometime in the next year. So far, I’ve bought the Lonely Planet Guide (which weighs about a ton) and am looking forward to having time to read it.
I see that last time I posted on this goal I was aiming to do about half an hour of cleaning per day – well, THAT has gone totally out the window. I still don’t have a very good cleaning routine but I can’t bring myself to devote myself to it for a set half hour every day – I have too much other stuff to do which I think is more important and interesting at the moment. Which generally means I just wait until the house looks pretty squalid and then clean. I like having a clean house; I just don’t like cleaning!
On the upside, a recent visitor to my house commented that it was one of the nicest houses she’s seen recently!
