Well, after feeling insanely sleepy for a good few hours there, at some point something kicked in and I have powered through to 10pm and my methods section is pretty much 95% complete!!!
The intro is about 75% after yesterday's efforts - held back by the very late-stage discovery of a key paper that throws a whole bunch of things out and I have to incorporate into the intro and discussion. So I'm going to have to prioritise reading that, but...
...my discussion section is a total shambles.
shambles rambles
I really have neglected it completely and it's just a bunch of half-finished sentences and disorganised dot points. Really, this is the important bit of the paper so I shouldn't be rushing it, but at this point I'm going to have to summarise a lot of it as:
- Wow, the results of A, B and C were really obvious! just like X and Y said!
- But these things weren't so great, possibly because of the phenomenon described in Z
- Still you should totally use C because A and B alone aren't enough
- Also here is a scenario model which proves my point
- But also it has 35930940249 assumptions lol
- Future research could address all of that, but anyway, at least this thing gets the ball rolling

I think my game plan for tomorrow is to seriously flesh out the discussion section, references be damned, and get the main points/flow of discussion correct. Because I simply won't have anything even remotely submittable without that. THEN I can get into that stupid paper and figure out how much I need to wedge in and try and finish that remaining 25% of the intro...
Sigh. I was hoping I'd be done by end of Monday but I'll have to accept spending my birthday still working on this stupid thing. If I can finish by the end of Tuesday at least then I can luxuriate!
I am just like π at your analysis of how you work and of your work.
pretty awesome
at least this thing gets the ball rolling
I think this is the key, yes? To get into a flow state.
I rode up to the water tower again yesterday and cutting across the hills is very doable. The park construction could be a blocker at times but there are still other options for me to try out.
Good night all β€οΈ

Went to the zoo with Minipeelers and Mr P. We are trying to do a "family activity" together every weekend; so far things have been quite civil really. Saw the meerkats, seals, lions, Australian section, lizards and dingoes. Tried to see the animal that smells like hot buttered popcorn (Binturong; sounds like an Indonesian beer and it looks shattered, like it spent far too much time with extended family or small children, but it really does smell like popcorn!) but being a master of camouflage it could not be seen. I wouldn't want to be seen either if I was an animal in the wild that smelled so deliciously edible!
The popcorn scented Binturong we didn't see.
Then I bought myself a tshirt of Fry saying "shutup and take my money!"
The Binturong and the Sun Bear could have drinking sessions together
aww, he looks like a wizard
Clearly not a happy soul. Reminds me of too many Monday mornings.
Lake pretty.
Wow!!
