D-day -44

Today has been spent in a mind-numbingly frustrating haze of administrative issues not related to the Thesis. That and preparing to go in and get my last course credits tomorrow. I've been aiming for "good enough" in this pedagogy course, but I've been over-shooting horrendously again and again. For this final task I thought I'd finally found the right balance between "not good enough for an almost-doctor" and "waaaay too much for a 6 hp mandatory course". But alas, it seems like I'm again using a canon to shoot mosquitos, as we say in Swenglish.

At the end of the day I finally also tired of the Thesis and sent it to test print, without checking some of the stuff I had on my list to check. Well well, that's what test prints are for anyway, right?
