Today I hardly make any progression. I could not get myself to concentrate as I did yesterday. I started the writing at 2pm and until 4 I had 2 lunches 2 cups of teas, 1 coffee and nearly fall asleep. I had to move around in order to keep awake and proceeded to the living room where I made a little progress whilst watching David Attenborough`s BBC Wildlife series.
Crunch time is coming. I suppose because I can feel the tension of the deadline getting closer and closer I am already in that `tense-watch-out-deadline-is approaching-thesis-writing-mode’ and I function on a different wavelength. Everything is evolved around the thesis, my conversations, daily routines, eating, cooking and all sorts. Stephen keeps reassuring me it is going to feel as good as it sounds once I finish. I keep hanging on to this. I have been studying and working at the same time for 10 years. Briefs, deadlines, research, critiques, hand-in dates, tutorials and the whole package is part of my life. I am so tense now, as the adrenalin is rushing up and down in me, that I can`t even relax my muscles. My hands stay in typing mode even after I switch off the laptop. I really wanted to do a lot today, but I try a different approach tomorrow and proceed to a new section and hopefully will be able to produce a section that restores my targets and gives hope.
No wonder after the 12 hours copy and pasting yesterday my body and mind needed a less productive day.
