I had hoped that my little holiday-hiatus wouldn't last much longer than two weeks. However due to a certain volcano going off, I am now stranded in the land of Dial-Up Internet and not quite sure when I'll be getting back. The time I do spend on the internet is spent contacting my partner, trying to download papers and trying desperately to get in touch with my supervisor who has an electronic copy of my (as yet unchecked) dissertation I would really like her to take a look at.
I have a horrible feeling she's stuck in an airport in Canada...
So while the forces of plate-techtonics conspire against my Finals I don't have all that much time for blogging. I'll return as soon as I can, with lots of science stuff (most of it about plants probably, as I'll still be revising) but until the ash clears there won't be anything.
It's really irritating, as I want to get into proper paper-trail revision, which I can't do without an internet source. And the deadline for my dissertation is the Wednesday after next, so I really need to be back by then.
Also I have a library book with me that just went overdue...
(On an unrelated note something happened on the 11th - my page views took a spike. Thank you to whoever-it-was that caused that! Much appreciated, expecially as I'm not able to write much at the moment).

Ouch. Well, extended holiday can't be all bad, right? Dial up internet sounds pretty tragic though.
Just realised how crap this must be for you. Hope things are getting sorted out for you, so you can get home soon to sort out your dissertation. Must be really tough, wish I could help.
In the meantime, perhaps the Cuttlefish can cheer you up a little:

Good luck! I'm sure it'll be fine.
Thanks for all the comments :) I've finally managed to get back, and busy catching up on all the blogging I've missed!
