this month of may

What potent blood hath modest May.
- Ralph W. Emerson

so there i was on sunday evening making grand plans of how i was going to finally get off my lazy behind, and beverylatedly start getting some stuff done that i'd been putting off for ages. my goddamn thesis for one! you would have thought that as a graduate student trying to get out of grad school by august, i should be earnestly buried up to my elbows in data and figures - yeah right! all the burying i'm subjecting my elbows to is in coal, to fire up the grill!

the month of may has been an unending litany of booze, babes, barbecues, bongs, and binges. if i sound like i'm complaining, believe me i'm not.. it's been a blast! however, other central characters in the plot (the parents, thesis advisor, dept. secretary) have been more than interested in my academic progress, leading to persistent phonecalls, meddling mails and inquisitive IMs.. not a good thing eh?!

even though i've always suspected that no good can ever come out of a monday morning, today i came to the impassioned conclusion that not only is that true, but it holds for all other facets of monday too, i.e. monday lunchtime, monday afternoon, and as things go, monday evening and night also. so in that vein, i'm headed back to my comfy couch and remote control, see you all on tuesday. ;-)
