Dear future me,
Why do you have to spend so much time to leave your bed in the morning?
I mean, I would understand if it's still winter and the room is freezing to just above zero, but it's hot and you are a busy finalist!! What IS wrong with you?!!
So, you managed to beautifully waste two hours this morning daydreaming, then an hour making breakfast and coffee and showering and replying to texts. How do you feel about the wasted time?!
Listen, this chapter is clear in your head, why don't you put it on paper already and send it off?!!
The first chapter covered the basics, and the second one is mostly literature review... If I were you, I would shoot it in two days and be done with it...
Do it!

Another day
I tried so hard not to forget to post another entry ... Needless to say, I have failed miserably.
So, the last few days since my last entry witnessed a number of ups and downs..
I completed and updated all the isopach maps, finished digitizing all the outcrop and related spectral gamma ray logs from the field, but I didn't do any interpretation.
Guy and the others left to Calgary for the next ten/ thirty days and the lab is finally peaceful enough to start writing something. However, I couldn't write a single word in the last 48 hours.
Writing seems to be an illusive experience ... I know I will write my thesis, all of it. Yet, unless I sit down seriously and focus, not a single word will come out.
I think there is a level of constructive stress that one needs to reach to be able to write...
Since Guy is not providing me with that luxury, I have decided to create it by asking Mailyng to be my enabler. I have to submit a complete first chapter by tomorrow evening, complete with figures and maps.
I will not do it the lousy old way.
I will be focused and organize each paragraph separately before moving to the next one.
What's with writers and Starbucks??!
