I haven't made any progress on my thesis this week, yet. Tomorrow that absolutely has to happen... it can't keep getting put off. I spent tonight getting stuff organized for the 3 Cambridge apps: the Cambridge graduate application, the Gates Cambridge Scholarship, and the Churchill Scholarship. I also read some stuff from one of Peter Colling's liquid crystal books describing blue phases, which the guy at Cambridge is working on. Really cool physics.

9 essays/short answers of varying lengths to write/revise in pretty much 1 week. The joy.

Given that I have a medical exam for the Churchill tomorrow morning, I should probably sleep so I'm not wrecked for that.

I was going to stay up most or all of the night writing my thesis. I made good progress in understanding the equations of MHD this afternoon and was planning to do some writing. But, I had to practice for my musicianship evaluation tonight, and as of a few minutes ago I was making really stupid mistakes from being tired. Thus, if I don't sleep, I will not be able to sing scale degrees/play chord progressions in the morning.

I'm going to bed now, although this is invariablly guilt-inducing. I tend to only write well once I'm on a roll, which tends to happen when someone else or myself holds my feet to the fire.
