Chapter finish fail.

Oh I’m so very disappointed with myself.

I just emailed off a chapter to my supervisor (one of them… must remember to email the other!) and I’m really not happy with my efforts at all.

The first couple of weeks of Operation Write Chapter 2 went swimmingly… but the last week? Oh my god. Holy unproductivity, Batman. It was freaking ridiculous and now I’m embarrassed at the useless pile of crap that I have actually sent off for another human being to read.

Accordingly, I plan to spend my night/tomorrow getting this referencing thing sorted out so I can send off something that is actually of a little better standard. Argh! Letting people read your work is bad enough at the best of times, but when you know you could’ve done better, it’s just cringe-worthy.

I know what I have to do. It comes in the form of two lever arch files, a pile of books, and good old Google Scholar. I’m gonna get my reference awwwn and this is all going to be okay. Gosh I’m a terrible student sometimes.

    well, everybodies ever feel what u feel right now.. just take it easy. take a deep breath as much as u can and take a long sight and imagine that u would take a success tomorrow. u know what u want so u know what u do, then u believe what u’ll get. :)

      Wise words :)

      Sometimes I’m not sure what I want so it clouds what I do… but I’m working on that. Today is a little clearer than yesterday.
