I’m sick again. Flu-type thing. Very annoying. Feel like crap, can’t concentrate on anything (no books, no computer), spent the whole afternoon on the couch watching TV (no-brain activity) and the weather change outside (feels like April, not June).
Very, very bored, yet too exhausted to do anything about it except moan. Blech.
Feels as if I haven’t done anything today, although that’s not true. I spent quite a lot of time starting a big email addy change, because I’m really sick and tired of all the spam I’m getting. I have a good spam filter with AppleMail, but I’m thinking of the Scotland trip in about a month, when I won’t be online much, so I decided to get started.
There’s quite a lot of work involved - like changing the email addies on all the fanlistings I didn’t join with my chocolatedream addy (which I’m keeping, because I like it so much *g*), so it’s good that I’ve given myself a month before I’ll delete the spam-infested accounts.
I did manage to accidentially delete some email, though, so if you left me a comment just recently or emailed my freesurf.ch addy, I lost it.
But oh, do I have enough of this shit now, so I think I’ll go and do some homework instead. Have been a slacker on my paper, because I’ve been sick and all, but at least some uni stuff should get done before the weekend is completely over.
And this was today’s boring post - just about as interesting as I feel right now. 
Not living up to my good intentions at the moment, because I must have caught something from my mom. Oh joy!
Anyways, a couple of lemming thingies, because I haven’t done any of these for a bit:
1. WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME? Evamaria
2. WHAT COLOR PANTS ARE YOU WEARING? dark-blue jeans
3. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? Friends on TV
4. WHAT’S THE LAST THING YOU ATE? chocolate
5. YOU WISH ON STARS? only falling stars

I didn’t even notice, but it’s been ten days since my last update here. In that time I’ve come to some decisions regarding my studies - mainly that it’s high time that I take them seriously and start thinking about more than the next homework, the next paper.
I want to start my thesis and then do my exams in a year (which means that I’ll finish in two years), and I’ve suddenly realized that that’s not such a long time. I have finally found a suitable subject for my thesis (Maori landrights), and that gave me the kick in the ass I needed. There’s so much I have to do and read in order to be able to finish my studies - and I won’t be able to cram that all into the months that are officially allotted for writing the thesis and studying for the exams. It’s time to be realistic and get to work.
But these last couple of days, although I was quite prolific working on my fieldwork paper (finally - it’s only taken me half a year…) and doing homework, have been a bit rough for me. I’ve been pretty stable emotionally in the past weeks, but that balance was shaken and I’ve been going through ups and downs. I know it will pass, it always does, but at the moment I feel quite vulnerable and don’t quite know where (who) to turn to, what to do, to overcome it.
But as always, I’m an optimist at heart and always hoping that tomorrow will be better. There’s so much to be done, after all, no time to hang around and feel sorry for myself.
Over the long weekend I created a new site - I always seem to find new projects to keep me busy… Anyway, it’s a site recs for my favorite musicians. Only 16 so far, but there’ll be more, I promise - I’ve got quite a backlog waiting to be added. Also, there’ll be 5 mp3s every Monday, so people can listen into at least some of the music I like.
So, if you like finding new music (or just want to know what I listen to):
