Why is it so hard to finish stuff? I started November thinking that I only had a few things to do. All items seemed either, intermediate, or slightly hard. But none of them were time suckers. So some time here, and time there and they should almost finish themselves. Ya right. Here is December, and not even the easy stuff is finished. sigh. Of course, I've made progress, but so often progress in grad school has been followed by a step back. It's usually two steps forward, one step back. The issue seems to be that I'm working on the fringe of my advisor's expertise. It's exciting for both of us, sort of burst of light followed by groping in the dark. But there is very little efficiency to the process. Hopefully, when all is said and done, it is worth it (and I finish this god damned degree!).
So, as we usher in December, I am reminded to buckle down once again.
