Day started off with a fire alarm and standing around in the relatively temperate weather. The windbreaker keeps me warm enough without layering on too much, and Toronto weather is always so damn hot compared to the suburbs. It always takes me by surprise. I've been longing for winter, though, even with the impositions it'll put into place with transit. I just miss the snow.
Maybe that's why I've got a snowy romantasy work in progress on the mind. Wound up ranting and blathering on in a discussion post, which involved a fiddly bit of math, and I'm quite sleepy. Very full from the sketti. Might have overestimated my appetite for it for lunch, in all earnesty. But the work space is quiet, and relatively empty. So it's not all bad.
Need to sit down and do my RAWR letter.
We finally have a good direction to begin my thesis work. Feeling good about that. Also filled out the paperwork and shot him back an email for him to file with the graduate program director. Reviewing papers- I can do that. :-) Feels good to have concrete tasks on my docket, rather than the vague limbo of stumbling in the dark.
Got to speak with my brother for a bit today, which was nice. Mostly just about life, how grad school's been going, health related stuff... And writing. It's been interesting, exploring my new relationship with it. Will get around to jotting the letter, after doing a bunch of admin related things today.
