it's been so long since i've been really productive, i'd almost forgotten what it's like. honestly, there is nothing quite akin to being done after hunching at my midget desk for eight hours straight. it's like...it's like finally seeing your 4.0 on the record after fidgeting and fiddling through the two weeks after finals.
someday, i'll construct analogies that have nothing to do with academia.
in other news, found a fantastic freeware file manager today. dual pane, keyboard shortcuts up the wazoo, integrated file preview, dos command line, usable bookmarks--it's very nice. still need to figure out how to convince windows that i really don't want to use the explorer file manager, at all, ever. i know there's a way, i just don't remember what it is. ah well.
