Just want to say,
I really appreciate the luxury to late nights now... even though they may be spent on working on the thesis. But it's with the companionship of live music by cinematic orchestra. I don't think academics can get any better than this, and I am certain that I'll miss this after graduating. Wouldn't it be great if more employment opportunities were available for the night?
On hindsight, as I write my literate review AFTER I have collected data (very bad planning haha), I think... it may have been a mistake to use data from the centre where I'm interning at. It deprives me of research flexibility; the design of the study is, to be honest, quite fucked up. I don't know if there will be any tangible results, and if any, how much can be attributed to real causal forces. I don't think it's publishing quality, which is quite stark from what I had intended. I really hope I still can manage a second upper, or else the efforts for the past three years would have been diminished based on one not-very-wise decision. Of course, life is bigger than this, and it doesn't count for much years into workforce, but it is just one of the things that matter to me, for now.
Oh well!
