i am having a dejavu moment.

long ago, in the days of leuven, i used to write posts as a procrastination technique. it seemed a lot healthier than continual games of mindsweeper. and it didn't really feel like procrastinating because i was still on the computer and i was still typing so i was basically just taking a formal thinking break from academia.

now here i am, back home in new zealand, and well in need of some sort of procrastination... why not say hello?

firstly, procrastination is once more necessary because im once more back at university. this time in new zealand. and this time in the middle of a literature review assignment. my literature review was the hardest part of my masters thesis back in the day because:

literature that needs to be reviewed tends to be of the sort that is a) hard to read and b) not very interesting to read.

one day, if i write something significant, something that might be reviewed, i hope that whoever is doing the reviewing will smile and think a) this is easy to read and b) this is interesting to read.

that is my goal. that, and to finish this literature review today.
