I got to talk to someone in the Phillipines for FREE!
she was nice. all I had to do was power down everything, then wait 20 seconds. then powerback up and what do you know? I'm back procrastinating my diss. yay!
I HAVE to finish this one section or else. Then I get to start editing it. again.
barf-o-la.
To people who wonder why I am complaining about stuff? Well, it's because this project has consumed so much of my mental and physical energy. I am so close to being done and it scares the crap out of me. I'm so conflicted about phinishing. It's the end of my formal education. period.
And the worst part is that it will never be "perfect" it will only be "good enough" and everyone's idea of "good enough" is different. My advisor's idea of "good enough" is so capricious that I feel like I have no hope of ever convincing her that my work is important. Her own scientific skepticism prevents her from recognizing the strongest part of my work. Instead she (and I) focus on the weak parts and lose the forest for the trees.
I guess it's like remodeling a house. It starts with turning your desk to face the house. (fivefires, you might want to enlist someone with a stronger back to do that for you!). the real source of procrasitination is often anxiety. So what am I scared of? What are you scared of?
We're all procrastinating something.
I'm gonna fininsh up this section. nap. dine, then try to babble chat. and call that the end of the first draft. sound like a plan?
