So I have to write a summary of a conference paper to include in an application for financial support to enable me to attend the conference to present said paper. The conference is not till the end of July. We all know that this means the paper will not be written till mid-July at the earliest. The summary has to be written tonight.
Logically (I think HD's influence is starting to show) a summary of a non-existent paper would be pretty short. Somehow I don't think that is quite what the funders are looking for, however. Sigh.
In other news, my supervisor has said some very nice things about the chapter I submitted (at the last minute, unsurprisingly) just before we went on holiday, and which had stressed me out because I'd felt my revisions were so superficial. Though apparently there are still lots of very long sentences in it. As if I'd do a thing like that.
