Day 1519

Got up early and went to campus to bring back the stuff about my project that my supervisor put on my disc. Got the functional languages book out of the library there, located the results noticeboard - 20 days to go. Conceded to the hot weather so far as to wear shorts.

Came back and worked hard at trying to get my Unix recursive directory lister to work. For some reason it wrongly identifies files in deeper directories as directories and tries to open them: 'segmentation fault'.

In the afternoon rode to Sainsburys and got salad for tea. Made a big green salad, a bowl of celery to dip in mayonnaise and cheese to go with the spring onions, plus pasties and cold potatoes. Ideal for this very hot weather.

It's two years since I started that job at ABC. They say you can stop grieving for anything after two years. They may well be right. Certainly I've felt better and very positive these past two or three days. It's probably the absolute and unguilty post-exam leisure, not like being unemployed at all. Of course I can't be sure of the results but the positive feeling is the important thing, and I can't change the results now.

Read The Road to Wigan Pier. Might read Aspidistra next, as I am having experiences very similar to Gordon Comstock's at the moment.
