Sometimes things just al go wrong at the same time.

My day yesterday began with me sleeping in; ten minutes late for my first session. Then, the piece I was supposed to have emailed to myself was swiftly forgotten – I was supposed to do it in the morning before I left. Not to worry.

The newspaper I run was due to go to print today. It hasn’t. After submitting the final proof for copy approval at the SU, there were several problems with content – trivial matters – but it meant it had to be edited.

No problem, but between leaving uni and getting home, the quark file managed to corrupt itself, and is currenly unreadable. So I’m a bit stuck. Going to get the file down to PC before the weekend, but I’m not holding my breath.

Moving on: it’s dissertation time. Gulp.

Arrived at a seminar this morning – on time, yay – to be told a little more about our dissertations. Now, I’m a bit of a last minute man (the whole newspaper copy approval proves all that), but I’m determined to not make that mistake here. After all, it would cost me my degree.

But what to do? 10,000 words takes a bit of research, and without a strict subject, I worry I’ll drift.

They always say you should write about what you know. Now, aside from a dissertation ony myself, that leaves one subject that jumps out at me: Michael Jackson.

Crazy, you might think, but I reckon I could be on to something good here. The Michael Jackson trials created the most insane media circus ever seen. Opinions flying about glossed over in fact-ish presentation.

Any suggestions?!
