Second verse, same as the first -

...a little bit louder and a little bit worse.

Also known as, This weekend I have to write ten more pages of my thesis.

10:39 AM: 0 pages

11:32 AM: 1 page Also: 1 cup of coffee made.

12:14 PM: 2 pages After I write one more page, I get to make pancakes and eat them. Yes. Motivation.

12:40 PM: 3 pages PANCAKES.

1:45 PM: 3 pages I am now full of pancake. Onwards! (The plan: after I reach 6 pages I take a shower.)

2:31 PM: 4 pages An interesting side effect of this "blog your thesis" plan is that I am unintentionally keeping a record of how long it takes me to write each page of this thing. Apparently I average a little under an hour per page. Adding in breaks for coffee and food, I should have completed this week's thesis portion in 6 hours. I'm not sure if this is comforting or intimidating. Something tells me I won't be finished by 8:30 tonight. At least it's only Saturday, I guess.

2:54: 5 pages HAHA I prove myself wrong, but in the best way possible! Excellent. Half-way to being done with this for the weekend! (Which is... half-way to being half-way, which is... 37.5%, I think?) Yesssssss. Now let's just hope I don't run out of steam. (One more page until I get to shower...)

3:20: 6 pages I AM ON A ROLL. However, since I am also still in my pyjamas, I am going to go shower. I have decided that if I finish two more pages (for a total of EIGHT written today) and it's still light and not unreasonably cold outside, I will go shopping. And possibly buy myself something nice. Something nice, and useless. And then I will come home and write two more pages. Yes.

3:58: 6 pages Starting up again! I hope.

4:43: 7 pages At this point I am just sort of outlining because I've written all I can without actually doing any sort of analysis (oops). The outlining is still helpful, however. And comforting in how many pages it takes up. I should start the acoustic analysis portion of this disaster tomorrow, because I can't deal with it today...

5:14: 8 pages GOAL REACHED. I can now join the land of the living. Hopefully more tonight! With the added bonus of actual analysis. Maybe.
