starzkiI thought about posting a third entry yesterday entitled "Dissertation Update." But I figured those on my f-list might not like me loading up their friends' page, so I decided to save it until today.
Yesterday's post would have gone something like, "I find I'm actually enjoying revising my dissertation. All of the comments from my advisor are useful, I'm making good progress, and looking totally cute doing it!"
But that was yesterday.
Today, I revised my quantitative results chapter. I discovered that I not only had (1) put entirely the wrong data in one of my tables (thus reporting it slightly wrong in the text), but I had also (2) reported the wrong beta coefficient in one of my statistical analyses. This led to me searching high and low for my finalized data in the semi-raw form. After a panicked 15 minutes, I remembered I put all of my FINAL ANALYSES data on my flash stick for safe-keeping. But, let me tell you, the OH-MY-GOD-I'VE-LOST-ALL-MY-RESULTS-AND-I-HAVE-TO-RUN-ALL-OF-THOSE-FUCKING-ANALYSES-AGAIN!!!! panic is no fun. It's a pretty good work out, though. My heart was a-pounding.
So, I did get through 12 pages of revisions. I've been averaging twice as many, but I think I might be done with revisions for today.
Cause ma brian iz ded.
