Taking a Pause to Ponder for a Bit...
Batteries Recharged
Posted Sep 27th, 2009 at 04:20 PM by Lucid Chaotic
So I got 5 hours of sleep last night and feel a little better… this is after almost 10 days of 2 to 3 hours of sleep each day. So batteries are sort of recharged.
Still have a lot of work to do though – I’m basically behind about 5 days from what I had set myself to do. It’s just taking way longer than I expected, especially now that I have to worry about page length as well. I keep wondering if there is a better way to say all I need to say in lesser number of pages etc.
I asked wifey to get me some cake yesterday – my favourite kind – Mocha Almond… sometimes I feel like I need a sugar shot as hyperglycemic type symptoms set in. Don’t know if I actually am hyperglycemic. I’m due for a full physical as I haven’t been to the doc for regular checkups in the last 7 years. Besides, I’m having about 5 cups of coffee a day these days, so that can’t be too good for the body either.
I’ve also decided to look for an editor who can go through my work once it has been reviewed by my advisor. My advisor is super-picky so he makes quite a few editing changes to my work and asks me to revise / re-structure a lot of the stuff, and that helps with the quality of work. However, if I’m going to submit my dissertation to a competition, I’d like for it to be as structurally, morphologically and syntactically sound as possible. I’m hoping I won’t have to dole out more than $400 - $500 for someone to read about 350 pages and format / structure it well, and go through basic spelling and grammar stuff.
I didn’t get to watch the Pak/India match yesterday cuz of all the work, but felt ecstatic the whole day after the team won! – good to see some semblance of form in the older batsmen.
Alrighty then… back to work!

Sara,
how are you with using MS Word for formatting, structuring, using styles in word, creating table of contents, and, subject index etc.
I wouldn't mind "hiring" someone I know to do this. I'm willing to pay for the time and headache it will save me. Originally, I was thinking of advertising for it in school to see if a grad student would be interested.Posted Sep 27th, 2009 at 05:33 PM by Lucid Chaotic
