Take the ribbon from my hair
I suppose at this time of year most people are all full of festive cheer and booze, thinking retrospectively about the year passed and making plans for the one that lies ahead.
Well, sod that. So many people I know dread Christmas and the New Year for a variety of different reasons. Sometimes I hate the enforced merriment of the holidays not because I'm a scrooge but because I don't feel I can join in. The people who know me will have a rough idea what I'm talking about, and those who don't will probably know from their own experience. But I digress. I just wanted to put a small note here for everyone else who has felt the same at one point or another in their lives.
A large portion of the Christmas break was dedicated to correcting my thesis. Sometimes it feels like 2 steps forward, 5 steps back. But they're steps nevertheless... After completing one particularly tricky passage I was rather proud of my red-pen handiwork and thought it should be shared with the world, here. Note how I found my green pen and tried to make it a bit more festive. Ho ho ho!
Anyway, back to it. Hope you all make it through the night in one piece.

I seem to have had a string of poor New Year's Eves, for various reasons. The whole world acting like it's happy doesn't help much if you're not in the mood to be merry. People are silly :)
