more thesis grumbles

"the last stages of thesis writing can often be the most demanding and difficult. you may have lost your initial enthusiasm for the project, may be somewhat bored with it, may want to start working on other research initiatives, and maybe you just want to have a bit of a social and family life back again. if you are feeling this way, take heart- many others have gone through the same stage, and have nevertheless successfully completed their theses. at this stage it is common to struggle to summon the last spurt of academic energy needed to finish.
take comfort in the unassailable truth that the sooner you get to work, the sooner the whole thesis will be done. no fairies come during the night and write the chapter for you- only you can."

this 'how to complete your thesis book' is making me laugh. you mean the fairies aren't true? goddamn that's what i've been holding out for all this time!
