Managed to get down to the geograds coffee time (held every Wednesday afternoon) today. Yesterday? Wednesday anyways. Man does time go funny when you're on nights. It's not tomorrow until you sleep, in my books!
ANYWAYS, it was nice to see a few folks I haven't seen in ages, and got a chance to talk to the woman whose spare bedroom I amstealing using next week. She had assumed I was going to be around a lot longer than I am, so obviously I need to work on my communication skills some more.
I also met up with a friend for coffee this afternoon, which turned into dinner with him and another friend at the Keg. Mmm steak. I have missed you. Oh, and my friends, too. ;)
I should've had a nap as soon as I got home after 9 pm, but I'm not good at writing as soon as I get up, and I didn't want to delay starting until after midnight. So of course I dicked around online for 2 hours before starting (I don't do logic when sleep deprived). But in my defense, I've re-written 3 sections in 2.5 hours, which is flying for me. I'm so much happier with how they've turned out, and they sound so much more professional and less spastic than before. AND I looked at how a couple of the Super's previous students tackled the analytical method sections, and they're not that far off from how I wrote them in past reports, so they don't need as much revamping as I expected. HUZZAH! It's amazing how more manageable something looks when you're not panicking about it.
All in all, I'm happy with how the work is going tonight. Still a ways from having a decent draft of this chapter, but it's getting better and I'm starting to like it, as opposed to the rabid loathing I had for it before.
WHOOPS, my 5 minute break is done. Seriously, mytomatoes.com is a fucken ace program for forcing you to focus and keeping from dicking around on the internet. It's an online version of an egg timer that has you working for 25 minutes straight before allowing you a 5 (or more) minute break. It prompts you to record what you accomplished in the 25 minutes, which is good at keeping you honest. If you have a hard time focusing (like me), you may find this useful!
(I think I might need a 'babble' tag, although maybe that just falls under 'master of bs'.)
ETA: It's 4 am, and half the chapter is DONE (or at least, as done as it's going to get unless I have some spare time tomorrow). Debating on staying up a bit longer and plowing through some of the second half, or going to bed because whoa man I'm tired, and my right eyeball is trying to twitch out of it's socket. Plus I sort of look like death, and was pretty disturbed when I saw myself in the mirror last bathroom break.
Bed or work, bed or work, bed or work.
Hmm...think I know which is going to win this battle.
