- The Saturday before you go back try to wake up at commuting o'clock. Fail.
- Repeat on the Sunday before you go back. Fail. (In my case, turn off the alarm and overshoot by six hours)
- Somehow manage to get out of bed on Monday. Walk into wall. Discover it's snowing. Discover the price of a season ticket has gone up. Reward yourself for surviving this far with a cup of coffee. Discover the coffee shack next to Harpenden station makes lousy coffee.
- Waste half an hour deleting emails from beautiful Nataliana who wishes to do me acquaintance.
- Check gmail.
- Check facebook.
- Mess about on Badscience for a bit. Convince yourself this counts as work.
- Check facebook again.
- Realise you have two days to get your fieldwork proposal into an acceptable form to submit for ethical approval.
- Panic. Then go on blogger to try and ignore it.
Happy New Year all.
