I'm off to Aberdeen -- I forgot, when I booked it, that this was a Bank Holiday weekend. I have a PhD supervision on Tuesday, and it's the one where I turn up with a small forest worth of scores and we decide which ones are dissertation-quality.

After that? I write the dissertation. I have already done some of the work for that -- the three pieces that were in my MPhil upgrade portfolio may as well go into the final, and I gave a presentation on my Stations of the Cross back in March which has a lot of material in it. But those scores by themselves don't add up to the hour I would need, so we'll have to choose some others, and I'll need to write about those too. If we don't have enough that are appropriate for the dissertation, then I get to write some more music before I start writing the dissertation.

I feel as if I'm hideously behind on everything else. I've had some healthcrap issues recently, which are still under investigation; so far we know that I'm deficient in folate, but not, unfortunately, why I'm deficient in folate. And I've been very, very tired.

Things I'd like to get caught up on this month: -Patreon rewards -a certain commission -two other (smaller) commissions -some kind of plan for the summer which balances competitions, other composing projects, and dissertation writing.
