End of semester crunch…
It’s amazing how much actually happens in a day.
Today I spent nearly 12 hours glued to the computer monitor, doing diverse tasks relevant to deadlines extremely close at hand. Besides the pressure of the coming end of semester thesis presentation, I’m working on music and sound for three projects, all of which just don’t seem to have an end in sight, despite the biggest and most pressing deadline of the three being this week Wednesday. It’s just not working. Assuming I get paid tomorrow, I think I might just bite the bullet and check out the sound effects libraries that might be around the local pro audio stores. Fifty to a hundred bucks is nothing compared to a missed delivery date.
Which reminds me: I haven’t done my taxes. This year, I need to be a lot better about keeping receipts on work-related expenditure. Last year wasn’t so bad, but I have a feeling that this year I could stand to lose a lot if I don’t do so…
The picture for today’s post is of YAKULT, a neat little health beverage that I have fond memories of. It’s mostly a Japanese/Asian thing, but recently I found that it’s availible under various names in a few stores around Los Angeles. I hadn’t drunk it in at least 8 years (the last time I was in the Philippines), so I grabbed a couple of packs. Wonder if it’ll be a factor in my project productivity at this crucial time…
