Returned from dinner to open my computer and find myself completely unmotivated. Started dinking around on the web, obsessively relogging into a site that is apparently down tonight. Annoying. Now I am intent on getting logged in, so I am distracted. And for what? Nothing except to know how many schmucks have viewed my profile today.
I have a 40 page rough draft I received comments on from the organization I intern for. I have no motivation to go through them and accept changes. What a drag. I am worried that the further I get into correcting the comments, the more and more problems there will be with the paper in their eyes. I am worried about finding notes like the following:
"This needs to be revised. Completely."
"Where is the data to support this point?"
"Please call Susie asap to discuss this section"
"Yes, we will need to discuss the relevancy of this point"
The prospect of coming across a statement such as this makes me really unmotivated to keep on with the edits. But I have to, because it is due to my advisors on Friday, COB.
On the sunnier side of the mountain, today I received more assurances that I will be going to Thailand this summer again. I can't say I am looking forward to preparing for the trip. Getting ready for it last year was absolute hell. I hadn't slept for 48 hours, it was 2:15 am, and I still hadn't packed for the month long journey overseas..and I had to leave the house for the airport at 9:30am. I have a feeling this series of events will be recreated come late May.
