Mercury Retrograde
Mood:  don't ask
Now Playing: Why Does it Always Rain on Me?
I'm sorry. Mercury Retrograde is a BITCH.

So much for submitting my dissertation. HA!

I showed the finished product (spare copy!) to Charlotte on the bus to London on Saturday afternoon, and ON THE FIRST PAGE SHE OPENED she found a reference that I'd forgotten to include in the bibliography. ONE BLOODY REFERENCE. Strike One.

Then, some of the Japanese girls were flicking through it (amid cries of 'Ah! So Difficurt!") and read three tiny mistakes in the appendix, which are hilariously obvious to any Japanese-literate reader. Strike Two.

And then, to complicate matters, I realise that a) I've sent my computer home with my parents, and b) I've ALSO sent home the cd with the entire dissertation backup on it. And the font in which I printed the blessed thing. STRIKE THREE, and it would seem that I'm out.

But no...

Thank god, I'd saved both of the offending documents on my computer account in college, and the PCs here have this week been upgraded, so that I can re-print the re-corrected things.

Let's just PRAY that my supervisors haven't collected the thesis from the drama office - I'm going to be there at 9am pleading to be allowed to take 'em away, re-do them and re-submit. And then get my haircut...

GAH!!!
