1, 2, 3, 4, FIF!!!

In the words of the great Dave Chappel, I plead the fifth...fifth chapter that is!!! I can see the light, I can see the light!!
Spoke to advisor today, she blessed off on my chapter and told me full speed ahead so here I am, Thursday night right at midnight looking to use ever piece of darkness until I get a submission. How great would it be to be completed and not have to pay for another class? No more books, no more research (required)? I can't wait!! I prayed prior to starting, so I'm confident I will meet my goal...I say it again..

Tears of Frustration

After 36 hours of working, I got nearly nowhere, sometimes I feel as if my brain doesn't work. I used to be so sharp and smart...now I feel like something is wrong with my brain. I can't think, can't focus, can't concentrate. I actually had tears of frustration today...literally...sad..


 
 
Ever feel like you've put your everything into something but just can't get it right? That's how I feel right now. All in all, I can't quit, the winter is coming and I have to stay at this thing and get my VICTORY!! I know that its possible and if I keep working at it, something can, must, will break through!! So, I'm off for an early nap until my brain decides to work again. Keep me warm please, please, please..heat up this brain!!

Progress? Knucklehead or Intuition?

So it seems like progress is on its way. The problem is, I'm a common sense-er and my intuition tells me to do something a certain way ...BUT..I'm worried that I'm being a knucklehead and just don't want to go with the flow...then may have to do double, triple or quadruple work....or I may put myself WAAAY ahead of the game.
So much to do, so much to think, its more like an obstacle course than a marathon. If you're running a marathon, its long but you know where you're going. Right now, I'm lost..but I'll keep moving forward.

48 Hours of dissertation rigor

Not many knows what it means, now, I can't really write, exhausted. Sacrificed the whole weekend. Just like I used to do years ago...sigh..

This is what excessive rigor looks like!

Ripping through!

I still feel like I'm running out of time on this thing BUT I noticed that my dedication isn't how it used to be. I've been slacking so, I'm going to begin RIPPING through this dissertation.
My goal for tonight is to shine off CH 1-3 and complete the framework for CH 4...maybe play with jmp and statistics...Ready, set, and go...D-Wayne the Ripper is what they call him!
