I really can't face my thesis today. I'm feeling guilty, tired, resentful, scared, and fed up with it. Though to be fair I think that it's not helped by the fact that work (aka "the proper job") feels a bit manic at the moment and I'm not keeping up there either. I will look at a page or two this evening at some point and try and think something profound - as I did intend these daily things to be about the actual thesis, and not about how I feel about it so much - but really I think that going away for a couple of days is going to do me the world of good (I'll try not to dwell on all the thesis work and proper work which will be waiting for me when I get back!).

I can't believe though that this seemed like such a good idea at the time (the thesis I mean, not the blogging about it!). What on earth was I thinking?!
