You know those nights where your mind just won't turn off? Well tonight is one of them. All I wanted was a good night's sleep. I finished up my long day of class, even did a bit of reading on the side and was looking forward to just crashing. Only to find out the heater in my flat is still broken. And it's cold. I noticed yesterday the heater lights were off and went to let the front office know. Of course the maintance man had gone home for the evening and no, they did not have access to any portable heaters they may have. Ok, fair enough, heater fixed in the morning. BUT, I find out from my flatmate that it may take up to a week to be fixed. Even though I put in the 'help ticket' I wasn't told about the outcome and nothing was said about acquiring a replacement heater in the meanwhile.

My frustration kept increasing this evening as it was so cold I couldn't fall asleep. So, here I am, watching the Tudors and thinking about my upcoming week, reading assignments, dissertation deadline (which I'm going round and round about), beginning to train for an upcoming half marathon, relationships, and future plans. Of course I have to have it all figured out tonight! My dissertation is foremost in my thinking. There are so many topics that I'm interested in, but what am I so interested in that I can spend the entire summer researching and writing a 10,000 word document? And what of my potential advisor? It seems as though none of the potential advisors share research interests. It will all work itself out, the process to getting there is a learning experience and hopefully there won't be too many 3am nights thinking about it!
