I'm done the first section on the good will (for the third...fourth...time?) again. It's 22 pages. It was actually more like 25, but holy crap, I literally edited out about 3 pages worth of "However, therefore,.." etc., ad naseum. You don't realize how much filler you're capable of until you're trying to talk about concepts that you just want lightly pass by when, in reality, you need to discuss them in serious depth or you're going to become a snack for your promoter.

It's so early in the morning. I want to go for a jog, but I know I should sleep instead. I will lurk around the philosophy department, and see if my promoter is available for a 15 minute chat, and then I can start working on the next section. Because I have failed trying to do this on my own, since that seems to bring extremely unhappy results. =/ =/ =/ =/


Got an e-mail from Kristin today, I'm so happy to hear from her. Currently I am just trying to finish my thesis...geez, it's rough. Hm. I dunno. It's always rought when you haven't shaven and you can only think about how much crap your thesis is.

Huh there's a little spider making a web on my lamp this morning. I think he's responsible for the itch I have on my scalp. =) AUGH! SPIDERS!

The more I do my thesis, the more I realize I don't know what my promoter wants, and I'm literally shooting in the dark. He says its my research, but really, I just don't know how I can write things that he can find interesting and agree with remotely. Granted, the other grad students seem to have similar problems, so I'm not too worried. It's a Belgianism, and really, I'm a lot younger than most here.

Anyways, I should go, none of this is restoring my faith in humanity, and I need to get up in an hour or three. Hm. Two is better, I imagine.
