For the record
For the record, I should like to note that one thing I am not now nor ever shall be poor in (barring disaster) is books.
I catalogue the ones that come into my possession, and resist their leaving. As of tonight, my fiction catalogue stands at some 1400 items; my nonfiction catalogue (which is as yet incomplete: there are some two or three - perhaps four - shelves to go) stands at some 200 items.
Books are necessary for life.
This weekend, I must:
1. Write a review.
2. Write an essay - or a draft of one.
3. Write two more short pieces.
4. Begin reading for and drafting the first chapter of my thesis - I sent an abstract of part of this for a paper to a PG research conference, so even if they turn me down, I will have had a Spur to Progress. (I figure if I aim for 5K word chapters, this will give me better odds of turning them into articles/conference papers, which seem to be, aside from the obvious thesis and vivas, how Academic Achievement is measured.)
5. Bake cinnamon and ginger and possibly walnut shortbread.
6. Exercise, if the snow doesn't turn to nasty ice.
