It is so hard to work during summer, ye gods. I'm glad I never tried summer school before, because I would have failed before the week was out. It might be related to the fact that I was killing myself in finals two weeks ago, and for the entire quarter before that. Or that I told myself I wouldn't have to do any work on my thesis until July - before learning that I have to finish it before the 11th of that month. Either way, I barely worked this week.
It doesn't help that I'm trying to do almost mindless data-entry - inputting into Excel all the surveys I distributed when I was in Ireland. I'd have more disrespect for the Irish students who answered my surveys by overwhelmingly listing their COUN T Y of origin as "Ireland" if I didn't constantly make that mistake myself. Who knows what it'll do to my results, though.
Why is Davis determined to be inhospitable? Usually summer here is bad because of the sweltering heat, but the haze has cooled it off to almost tolerable temperatures. Unfortunately, it's also made the air unbreathable. There's no winning, is there?
I hope everyone else is enjoying their summers. But not, y'know, too much.
