Corner of Christin: November 2008

Welcome to my November 12 of 12! For the first time since I've been participating I've actually thought about not participating this month for three reasons:
1) My thesis is due in 18 days, so there should be more pressing things on my mind than taking 12 pictures of my day.
2) Writing my thesis means that I wouldn't leave the house and I've shown you my share of in-house days since March last year, so why add another? :D
3) I'm sure there was a third one but I can't remember it right now.

Well, as you can see, I ignored those reasons and did it anyway. :D This is still Chad's brainchild and his blog is still the place to go for seeing everyone else's days.

Here we go!

1) 08:04
Goooood morning! The weather seems to be okay for the day. 4 days ago, Dresden finally emerged from having been fogged in for more than a week! It looks cold. *freezing*

2) 08:22
Part of my daily morning routine is to solve my "Puzzle of the Day" on Facebook. (Jigzone application) This looks solvable. *nod*

3) 08:29
And done! Not a bad time...
4) 10:09
Today's task: transform these notes and texts into thesis chapters. Only 18 days left...
5) 13:40
Lunchtime!

6) 13:40
One of the things that gets me through my final thesis writing days: lemon tea. Usually two pitchers per day.
7) 14:19
Just got off the phone with one of my choir directors, the one from the church you can see on the small outer display of my mobile. :D

8) 15:00
I usually opppose indulging in Christmas-y pastries and delicacies before Christmas, but when I saw them at the supermarket I craved these gingerbread biscuits, so here I am. Indulging. :D

9) 16:03
I was a soloist at a concert on Sunday (the only non-professional singer of the quintet of soloists!) and my mom had asked me if there had been a critique in one of the newspapers. So I looked online and indeed! There was one. They only wrote a very short passage about me, but what this passage entailed can only be described as a rave review. *biggrin*

10) 16:51
The sun is gone...
11) 17:20
...and only half an hour later it is completely dark outside and the moon is the only light. I hate November. :(
12) 21:02
Watching Clear and Present Danger, one of my favorite Harrison Ford films. I've also read lots of Tom Clancy novels. I love political thrillers! Yesterday they showed Patriot Games, which is the precessor of CaPD.

13) Bonus pic:
Some flowers for you, Chad. :) Hope everything will be alright! You're in my prayers.

See you in December when I don't have to write my thesis anymore! There's something to look forward to...
