So much for resolutions, I really struggled today. But knowing that I said I'd post (nearly) every day did at least spur me to get the thesis out again and look at it for a bit. I've written down what actually still needs doing, and really there isn't that much, but it still feels like such a lot.
My thesis thought for the day: apart from a bit of rejigging and restructuring it's pretty much there. But I do need to make a section of my methodology chapter less angsty and less like therapy (it WAS therapeutic writing this particular section, but I need now to continue the therapy and chop chunks of it out!).
My not-so-professional thesis thoughts for today: (1) that is a LOT of ironing; (2) I've had enough; (3) when can I stop?
Tomorrow evening I have to go for a meal (well I don't have to, I want to) for a colleague who has been suddenly and unexpectedly temporarily promoted so will be leaving us for a while. It will be much more fun than writing, but the guilt will still be close to the surface. We are also going to be incommunicado for a couple of days at the end of the week (family stuff) so the thesis thoughts won't be every single day. But it won't be far from my mind, that's for sure.
I can't wait to be finished now. I've really had enough of this.
