The draft for chapter 2 is done. Chapter 2 has been swapped with chapter 3. Which means chapter 2 (the old chapter 3) still needs work, namely the intro, results and discussion. Eek! But hopefully there’s not that much to do for the intro, nor for the results. Not like the 20 or so colour plates containing a zillion images I had to do for chapter 3 (the old chapter 2). And not to mention me having a brain freeze and accidentally deleting a figure. Actually I overwrote the updated figure with the older, mostly empty backup. Drats!
My eyes have given up on me and now refuse to focus. I think I’ve gone partially cross-eyed from looking at the laptop screen for at least 3 weeks now. That’s waking up at 8, sitting on the computer and typing until 1 or 2 in the morning.
Needless to say, can’t wait till it’s all over.
But, scary as it sounds, I am looking forward to doing chapter 2. A change is as good as a holiday, perhaps. But I also want a holiday.
