Supervisor is so sweet.

So I got the next load of work to do for my final year project and so obviously me being me, I wanted to do it as soon as possible so I can concentrate on coursework. The project hasn't actually started yet, though, we recently got ethical approval for 5 months to go ahead with the testing *woohoo* I'm still being trained by my supervisor with the software and coding and all that. It's actually the coding that I'm crapping myself about because it took me 2 hours to code 7 minutes of an interview. Each clip is around 10 minutes long and I'll have to code 12 of them. I wonder if I should just bring my sleeping bag along to the lab. 

Anyway, back on topic, I asked if I could get started straight away after my lecture on Tuesday. But she said I should get some lunch rather than darting straight over to the lab to code. N'aww she's so sweet. I would get lunch but I always feel like time is moving too fast for me. If I waste any of it, I could be in trouble. Yeah, I know, my logic is flawed when it comes to sitting down and having some lunch getting work done - but that's my workaholic side. 

I really consider myself a workaholic sometimes. Sometimes, because I'm also really lazy most times. But it actually doesn't take a lot of motivation for me to get down and do some work. I feel like I've wasted a day if I just sit around doing nothing so even typing 100 words out for my essay is still considered as something productive to me. I just have major issues taking breaks and stopping to eat, I'm actually afraid that I'll lose concentration if I break away from doing work to get some food in me. I can imagine myself wasting away when it comes to exam time, or even wasting away when I become fully employed in the future. Too tied up to eat hnnnngggg. Actually, I kinda contradict myself there because by typing this entry, I've broken away from doing work. 

So in conclusion, I can break away from work to procrastinate but I can't break away from work to eat. 

In other news about the progress of my room, the sockets have been added today. There was so much drilling and crap that I was awake since 9am, not really happy but I managed to fall asleep whilst checking my phone and making pointless half-awake tweets on Twitter and woke up at around 1pm. Nothing seems to stop me waking up after noon, I could sleep through an earthquake and wake up wondering what happened. 

Erm, so, my room... Still have one wall to strip, wallpaper stripping is actually quite fun. I need to get someone over to sort out the mould problem. I have bad ventilation in my room so it's causing nasty black stuff to grow on wallpapers FML.   

Anyway, I hope you're all having a great day wherever you might be reading this. It's cold here, I have no bedroom (still, and will not have for the next month or so *cries*), my desk is a window sill,
