Prospectus

I felt like an academic person today. I spent the whole day putting together my prospectus for this new project we're proposing. It reminded me of writing a thesis, except with more little graphs and pie charts. It's 35 pages long. I'm proud of it! It even has appendices, and a table of contents, and a nifty cover with pretty colors on it.

What's funny is that a prospectus is just a delaration of intent. After this, I get to turn in the really detailed "proposal", which will probably take up an entire three-ring binder. Good thing I like to write!

I'm a bit tipsy on Diet Pepsi. It was the only non-caloric drink available at lunchtime, so I drank it, despite its caffeine content. I really wish I had any tolerance to the stuff.

Forest is in a bad mood today, and I really don't know why. Actually, I think I've decided that I have to acknowlege that every person, no matter how great things are, is going to be in a bad mood once in a while. It's body chemistry. I have to learn to accept this, understand that it will go away, and get on with life. Instead I just want to jump all over it and try to make it better, which really doesn't help.

So rather than dwell on it and nit-pick, I filled out another annoying Email questionnaire. It's one of those 'getting to know you' ones, in case you forgot who I am, I guess. (Or in case I did.)
