trouble starting again.

i seem to be having some trouble starting to write again. especially the ibm thing. i am nervous and i hate writing - so i am majorly procrastinating. which is bad news.

With a three page goal - i need to get on task asap - other wise all of my trips will be a waste of time.

i guess i just have to get started.

read barb's paper - and it all seems quite doable.

MUST WORK - get a grip berg - and do it.

yikes

Done.

comprehensive proposal - tick.

after the funny meeting on Wednesday - where I was told as long as I wrote the email saying I would make certain changes - i could be done, I am really done now.

Adrienne read my latest draft. And said many nice things - including, nice, very nice and some sentences are beautiful.

She shook my hand, gave me a candy and said congratulations.

What a relief. What a flood of emotions.

What a lot of work lies ahead.

Now I have to write the 30 pages of paper and have it ready for her by the end of march. I am hoping that I can have a draft by the end of January.

At 30 pages. That is 10 pages per week. 2 pages per day.

Completely do able.

Then I will have somthing to give to Barry before I go to CA.

I also have to finish the IBM thing this weekend. That will be a pain but not impossible.

OK - i will keep with my schedule. lets aim for 15 pages per week. 3 pages a day (that does not include notes).

tough - but manageable. I will be very excited on Monday - i expect.

PHEW.

re-writing and editing is funny

last year, my advisor told me to completely rewrite my comp proposal. I did.

then i sent her the most recent veriosn, so i thought and we had a meeting. She said that if i wrot her an email saying i would make the changes - she would send an apporval email to the head and I could move on. This was in response to the wrong draft - to a copy of the draft she rejected last year.

funny.

so really, all of that work for nothing.

so typical. tough to stay inspried.

hopefulyl she will ahve similar things to say about the draft i sent her this mroning.

work is funny.

i think i should star writing a novel instead of this hidious phd stuff. that would be way more fun and I might actually write something.
