Good on ya, Nerd. I'm very glad for you.

**Nurvingiel** · 07-10-2008, 07:41 PM

That is so awesome Nerdanel! Good on ya for being organized about your thesis. Though I was fairly organized about research, I wrote the bulk of my bachelor's thesis in under 36 hours. Though I managed to scrape a good mark, this is not something I would recommend with respect to one's sanity.

Also, Morocco rules and banana cakes are delicious.

**Mari** · 07-11-2008, 02:11 AM

Oh my goodness, writing most of your thesis in under 36 hours?!?

Mummy, she scares me!

Nerdy, yay! How was your night?

Nerdanel · 07-11-2008, 07:31 AM

Thanks, all! That was overwhelming.. 8)

The night excursion was a lot of fun, even though we didn't get to see too much.. Mostly glow-worms (Lampyris noctiluca), which was nice.
Today I joined them again to go out with the station's big boat to an island in the outer archipelago. Beautiful place, I could've stayed there far longer.. But it was really nice.

I was whistled at.

By someone I haven't known since high-school.

Ordinarily, this would not be such a big deal for me, but I had a tough weekend, beauty-wise.

BeardofPants · 07-14-2008, 01:44 PM

Hey, I'll whistle at yer any day of the week.
*leers*

You mean you weren't looking your best for the LARPers?

**Mari** · 07-14-2008, 01:50 PM

*hates being whistled or honked at*
Yay for you, Sis.

I took some guff in my guise as "the Sea Hag"...it went on a little long from a young friend with no social graces.

I'll fix him, though. I have ammo for facebook.

I thought in politics, people SAVED those pictures for blackmail.

I forgot how time can fly when you have a microscope and a key to insects.

And now I have the tickets to Morocco - already looking forward to those 16 days in October..

Nerdanel · 07-15-2008, 01:35 PM

I also forgot how weird people can become after a full day in the field (in the sunshine..) followed by a full evening at microscopes, all the time above Petri dishes filled with alcohol and tiny insects.

Gwaimir Windgem · 07-15-2008, 02:06 PM

You know what makes me happy? Contraltos.

Nerdanel · 07-16-2008, 10:24 AM

xkcd often makes me happy.

**Mari** · 07-16-2008, 12:34 PM

I'm happy because I'm drying lavender and making sachets to put them in. I'm trying to embroider them as well, but I'm very bad at that. Still, it makes me happy!

katya · 07-16-2008, 10:19 PM

**Mari** · 07-18-2008, 06:39 AM

I had a nice long chat with my client today! He told me about school when he was young and the town we live in back in the days.
And when I rode home I heard the churchbells (because it was 12 o'clock) which always makes me happy ^_^

**Mari** · 07-18-2008, 07:11 AM

Woohoo!!!
My thesis has been approved!!!

I am now a Bachelor of Arts!
I got a 6,5 (out of 10) for it, so it wasn't as terrible as I thought.

Woohoo!!!

*does several cartwheels, throws flowers around and then hurries off to work*

I'll be back in 2 hours to celebrate ^_^
