Progress. It is at a snail's pace, but it is progress nonetheless.

I am really regretting taking that book about the Viscoelasticity of Polymers back to the library. I could really use it right about now for this take-home exam. Maybe if DJ has to go in tomorrow, I could have him pick it up for me.

I need something diverting to do. The problem is that I can't really afford to be diverted right now! I should divert myself with the things that I cannot be diverted from -- that would be killing two birds with one stone.

It's a shame that things don't always conform to the way I think they ought to be.
