Ok, I did it. I'm pretending like the last 10 years of the shitty social internet haven't happened, and I created a DW account. You can find me at the same username; my posts will likely remain locked for the forseeable because that's what I do.

I have made 90% of this, just waiting for the base to cool before beating egg whites and chilling. It's really pretty easy.

Ok, brain. Let's read one more paper and then call it holidays.

I'm certain that figuring out how to circumvent the DRM on an e-textbook I downloaded from the university library is an excellent use of my time.

Have already been to the neurologist and come back home. He's super pleased with my response to the new meds. Now today will be a WFH day because I am tired after getting up at stupid o'clock.

Things are still a toxic cesspool down there. One of the targeted staff members was offered a role at a sister organisation and tomorrow's her last day. The CEO was massively displeased and called the CEO of the sister org to complain 🙄

We have some friends coming round for coffee and cake on Friday, I am pretty keen to make this. Might have to do it tomorrow so I don't have to get up early on Friday.

It's hotter inside the PhD students office than it is outside. I'm going home.

Went to gym. A+ would gym again.

(Did a nice big upper body workout today which should hopefully calm my shoulder and back muscles down).

I am absolutely going to the gym at 11am today. I intended to go on Monday and then wimped out, and have been feeling shite ever since.

A paper which I am listed as author on has been accepted for publication! It's just a short comment piece.

Oh! I get Easter Tuesday off as well! That's good since I've already booked in a visit to the hairdresser :D

It's been lots of reading and handwavey work so far, but he sent me away from today's meeting with textbooks on systems modelling, so I think I will be able get into some dev work soon.
I need to think about learning how to do GIS stuff, as spatial modelling will be part of my work.

So this is week 7 (I'll stop counting it in weeks soon, but it's a useful metric for the time being). I just had my fourth supervisor meeting. I think things are going pretty well. I'm a hyper-organised worker and I think my supervisor has realised that.
Achievements to date:
1. Visited my study town, had good interactions with people there
2. Begun a contextual analysis of my study town
3. Written a 1,000 word critical analysis of a paper that my methods will be based on

I should caffeinate before my supervisor meeting.

Oh, it's that time again. Muting all the hashtags so I don't get spoiled. MAY HELLFIRE RAIN UPON YOU if you post GoT stuff without CW or hashtag.
