I decided to take a deep breath, steel myself and have a look through my supervisor’s revision - half the intro was basically rewritten but it does at least flow better and the points made aren’t substantially different. The discussion needs a big boost though. It’s doable. But I’m leaving it to tomorrow. For now, I am going to have a nice hot dinner of paratha and some super spicy prawn curry, have a hot shower, and then burrow in bed to do some nyt word puzzles with brown noise until I fall asleep.

Tomorrow’s game plan is 1. Finalise my slides with the improved logic flow from thesis; 2. Rehearse slides to make sure I’m not way over time; 3. Do some writing and reading if I have time; 4. Presentation of doom; 5. Continue writing

There’s some real gremlins in my brain playing the old classics on repeat from bad academic experiences of the past but I ain’t giving them a voice today. There’s work to be done once this is all over, for sure.

Deadline is technically Monday but supervisor also thinks I can get this across the line before COB Friday so we’re gonna fucking do it and I can truly relax on the weekend
