Reflections through Cyberspace

This weekend, starting from tomorrow (since I have no lectures) I will try and do some progress on writing the dissertation. I have done some more research yesterday, so hopefully I will be able to at least write a chapter by the end of this weekend, so that on Monday I can send it to [...]

Tomorrow I only have a lecture between 9 and 11am, so I will try to spend some time at the library to do some more research. Up to now I have not spent much time at the library..I only collected or returned books once in a while, but tomorrow I will try to do some [...]
