truepennyI gave myself yesterday off, seeing as how I've been getting not enough sleep and unusual quantities of excitement for the past couple weeks. But, sadly, the dissertation will not finish itself. No matter how many times and how nicely I ask, it just won't. If I want it done, I have to do the work myself.
So I finally quit procrastinating and opened the Kyd chapter.
And discovered that my ability to write a clear coherent sentence in English has gone straight out the goddamned window. I know what I was trying--and failing--to do, and I know what needs to be fixed, but the mechanism by which bad academic writing becomes good academic writing seems to have stripped its gears.
The timing is not optimal.
Right. Having bitched, I shall fling myself back into the dragon's lair.
