the end is in sight

in the past day and a half I have:

* Finished chapters 1 & 4 and sent them to my advisor

* got back chapters 1, 2, & 3 with minor suggested corrections from my advisor (and have already acted upon those from 2 & 3)

* Packed up all of my things in my office and brought them home

* got all of the UTAS catalogue numbers written on the rock samples I collected and turned them in

* re-organized 150 rock thin-sections into numerical order (well they were already in order, but I had one box of "didn't wind up doing analysis on these" and one of "samples I actually used", and it was needful to consolidate them back into a single series again) and turned them in.

* four loads of laundry, including all of my bedding I want to take with me (and re-made the bed with sheets from the house, as I may not be sleeping much just now, but I want to be comfortable when I do)

* re-arranged the furniture in this room so that I can get to the shelves/cupboards in which my things I still need to pack are located.

* Made arrangements for the shipping company to pick up my things to ship to Italy on Monday

* attended my good bye dance/party and had a wonderful time seeing everyone who could make it & got in a reasonable amount of dancing (and got some wonderful gifts from friends, thank you--it is so good to be loved!)

* managed to get a total of seven hours of sleep, in short, concentrated bursts

( Still to do before flying out )
