e-mail to write

I should write an e-mail to one of the professors on what I want to do. I'm bad at writing e-mails that are like sort of official so I'm putting it off. Well e-mails aren't really meant to be the sort of thing to have an answer on right away especially if they don't ask for it or have no specific questions needing fast answers like "you wanna go for lunch?" And as the e-mail is going abroad I have an extra day since normal post would not deliver on the same day. Well anyway, I'm contemplating on being all honest and open about what I want and think. That's not so easy. And well if I really get into the writing the mail will be like really long with me explaining all the things with my own logic and such. I think I like explaining myself rather extensively. So I shall put it off till tomorrow so I'll have time to think about it and then forget what I was going to write.

I think I got some real progress on my experimental part this morning before lunch. Like 2 to 3 hours of solid writing or correcting my old writing. Then I came back from lunch and nothing. I've not done much anything worthwhile the whole afternoon. Sure, I've been making the whole thing look nicer, moving bits around and such but that's not really what I need to do. I need to get it done. Well the fact that I just actually got these results that point toward like this new form desn't really help with the getting done part. But it's getting there. It has to. I'm thinking mostly done by the end of this month. Then of course there will be additions with new stuff form the possible new form but that shouldn't be so bad as long as all my conclusions don't go out the window.

What I have been forgetting in all of this is that - "I've landed myself a job". I'll get paid from March onward while I can (have to) still finish my studies. I'm thinking getting a job is cause for celebration. I don't know what I will do in practice or what I will get paid but that's sort of secondary. I'll be making money. Not much but I'll still have some of that academic freedom I love. And if I stick to it I'll have the job for the next four years if I do my doctorate. That means I might not have to move my aquariums for so long once I get them moved back into my appartment. Ok so I might spend a bit of it abroad or such but still. Now I just have to figure out how to celebrate. Maybe I'll wait till I get to Finland and then I can double the celebration with getting my work here mostly done. - I'm trying to orientate myself into thinking positive thoughts and it's working. :)
