A sequence of events
(all times subjectively true)
~5:00 am: Finish revising paper, at long last. Set alarm for 8 am. Go to bed.
6:17 am: Hear my brother's voice in the front room, realise I have nearly two hours left to sleep. Praise God.
8:00 am (estimated): Turn off alarm without waking up.
9:30 am: MA Philosophy Conference 2007 begins.
10:22 am: Get phone call from Brynna, wondering if I'm okay. Panic. Shave, shower, dress, get bus.
11:00 am: Get to conference. Note that no-one else seems to mind; continue to stress out anyway.
1:00 pm: Run to Ontarion office, print out papers, run back to conference room.
2:30 pm: Give paper. It goes well. Questions are plentiful and intelligent. Friends and people from Philosophy of Art class I TA show up.
3:00 pm: Slump in chair, enormous weight lifted.
4:00-7:30 pm: Beer.

That this has a finishing time concerns me. What interrupted you? It better have been something big!
(Congrats Ian)

Actually Jonathan, what interrupted that was both a lack of cash and the fact that we all still have marking/writing to do.
Thanks to all of you, although I hasten to add that this doesn't mean a return to normal-paced life... I have to mark about 40 papers for tomorrow, and I've got a big article due at Stylus as well. And of course, the thesis still looms over my life.
But yeah, thanks again - and Erik, I'm going out with friends from the student newspaper today, so another one will be risen, trust me.
