Forced to wait... a little longer!

Well after keeping an eye out for the parcel-post delivery van yesterday, nothing came of it... my books are still in the mail! So, after planning on using the excitement (that the postie’s arrival would inevitably bring) as an excuse to procrastinate from University studies – sadly, I can’t! Consequently, instead of reading my book, I find myself jumping on and off the internet in between bouts of studying the application of Keynesian theory in contemporary macroeconomics... :( The frequent distraction provided by reading sci-fi/fantasy writing forums is helping, just a little, to relieve the study pain...

Compounding this present issue is the fact that I'm heading interstate on Tuesday (Monday being a Public Holiday where I am) for a week due to "real-job" commitments... At times like this, I really dream of being a professional writer. The grass is always greener, I suppose…

My interstate travel also creates another dilemma... when my carton does arrive from Equilibrium Books, I won’t be here to open it! Notwithstanding, both my wife and children maintain that they will still “rip into the box” and start reading the final product straight away. So, while I console myself with the fact that I know they will enjoy seeing and reading it, I personally won’t lay eyes on it for another week! {insert big sigh here}
