OK, so I have been working some last fall. I worked with my advisor, who makes me forget all the research and all those hundreds of pages i wrote years ago and sit down, and write the bulk of each chapter from memory. then i add the fluff of quotes and references and stuff. it works!
goal: must have the chapter on public opinion research finished in two weeks. That is by the end of January.
Well, get your ass in gear, but not until tomorrow, eh?
yes, i have a residual headache and pain in my shoulders from all the stress of the today's talk with the boss and the previous stress. today is off.
i have a good little routine going. I go to the gym from work, and to this cafe in Central Square where I like to work. I would have to pay to get online, so I usualy don't and get most done on the Diss there. Will go tomorrow.
Sounds like everything's in place. Keep reporting in. Daily, if you think it will help. Just that -- reporting here, and knowing that I need to report -- has really helped me get to the gym even when I don't wanna.
Wow! a DECISION!
I do hope this makes things a lot calmer for you.
Hope the birth pangs of your dissertation are gentle....
(((((((((((((((((((((Daggles)))))))))))))))))))))
I hope you're at the cafe writing, and not just at facebook sending me good karma :wink:
hey! it wasn't me, my dog used my computer and also chewed up my.... socks....and i had to....call my mother.....because she gave me the socks for christmas and...
ok i give up. not very well behaved today, but i did do SOME work.
sooooooo you're sewing your dissertation?
i mended all that had broken zippers, tears, and such stuff. which greatly increases the amount of clothes i can wear.... that is useful.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm
can you spell avoidance with an m?
not exactly. this was planned for a long time, had to be done at some point.
Dear people of a2k,
One dissertation committee member signed off today on my fulfilling requirements for defending and getting this whole thing over with. I just have to meet with the other two and if all goes well, I shall defend before the end of August.
Curtsy.
Knock-knock.

Exactly. Yahoo!
Could you skip the curtsy and give us a full bow? Cleavage really fills the seats around here.
