my flight is delayed and there's free wifi in helsinki airport:
i suppose that certain outcomes are therefore inevitable.
thinking it through, these last few weeks haven't been very efficient;
i blame the lack of structure in my daily life:
the holidays are beginning, and my family swells: with my sisters come their boyfriend and fiancee in tow: good men, though. they treat my sisters well, which is the important thing.
there will be a lot of people in the house, so i suppose that i won't get any work done until after new year's ..
.. on the other hand, my laptop has a 8-hour battery:
i wonder if i can write up an entire preprint during the flight home!

i can't remember anymore.
the days are now a blur.
