Sunsets and successful studying

"Today you have hope, not because you've gotten stronger and wiser, but because God's grace is everything he declared it to be" (Paul David Tripp - on his Twitter)

It isn't often that I manage to finish a planned day of studying before the sun has set...or during the winter anyway.

5 hours in uni (instead of the 6 I thought I might need) saw the writing of around 1,000 words and the reaching of the lit-review-mostly-written-by-end-of-intersemester-break target.

At last! I still have a few wee bits to add to my literature review and it is going to take a fair amount of polishing and some reference adding, however for the moment I think I can focus on starting to think about my research proposal. Just as well seeing as I have to prepare a presentation on that very thing for next week and currently have not a notion what my proposal is going to look like.

So yea, productive day :)

After 5 hours of mostly being in the same study carrel/cupboard I was very ready for some fresh air. So shuttle bus back to the flat, books dumped and a wander along to the Fort to buy something for dinner.

And a phone call to mum along the way, of course!
