Easy (but Bad) Meals vs. Harder (but Good) Meals

I don't know why I ever settle for easy meals when I'm stressed out.  Last night I made an awesome meal of breaded fried fish, green beans, and rice (with just a touch of salt and pepper), and while yes, it's a little plain, I like plain food.  The flavour of the fish and the light seasoning was perfectly highlighted without being overwhelmed, and my all time favourite food is rice.

I practically lived on it at my Grandma and Uncles place in March and April.

And while it took a while to cook, it was a lovely break from thesising, and I had an instant and good meal ready to go tonight for dinner.  I guess I forgot how nice it is to cook for yourself.

Of course, the dishes afterward sucks.  :D

Writing Goals Wooo

Another list of Thesisy Things To Do.  This time with chapter sections to cross out.  Just to keep me motivated.  Wooo.  (In stupid code because it makes me vaguely uncomfortable to have this stuff on a public post, even if it is (semi) anonymous.)

• Sources of Stuff in The Place
  • The Lake
    
  • The Strip
    
  • The Dust
• Downstream Changes of Stuff in the Water
• Stuff Stuck in the Dirt
  
  • Stuff in Metal Watery Oxides
  • Stuff in Metal Sulphides
• Oxygen-LackofOxygen Conditions in The Place
• Stuff Cycling (ONNA BIKE!)  (Really long ride homg)
• How all this Crap affects The Plan

ETA 2:05 am: This is the dilemma I always run into.  Do I go to bed now since I'm very tired and can't think straight anymore but the words are flowing easily, or do I go to bed and get up early, when I'll be able to think clearly, but will have problems gettin
g those thoughts onto the paper? 

I prefer to stay up and plow through it, since I really need to get this done by tomorrow (afternoon? early evening?  Please?!) and I hate cutting down my time.  But this is an important section and I need to make sure it's thought out clearly.

Okay, that answers it: to bed for me.  But first I'll jot down my thoughts for this next section.


ETA May 11 2:05 pm (haha!): Got 'stuff in metal sulphides' section done and half of 'oxygen blah blah blah' section done while chilling at Smitty's, eating breakfast and cake (not at the same time).  Now parked on the couch and will try to finish up at least this section and the 'stuff cycling' section this afternoon/evening.  I hope.  :)
