almost funny bureaucracy

I am writing a reseach proposal to apply for a grant. Didn't believe that I can get it, so I didn't start this writing of application till the last day. Ok, last day is tomorrow, but if I started at 10pm today, doesn't it also counts as last day?

I still don't have much hope for this, but at leat lazy-me lost and I started to prepare the documents. It is almost 1am and I am planning to get up at 6 tomorrow to finish some last parts before meeting my mentor. Then get some signed papers from the dean (hopefully he is not on vacations!) and then proofread and make the proposal look nice. Lots of work tomorrow!

Actually, writing applications for funds and conferences is not the best part of studying for PhD. Doing the research is fun. Doing the administration tasks is not fun at all. Except, if it is 1am and brain is not much working any more. Then almost anything can seem funny.
