What's the opposite of lobotomy?
Perhaps lobohery. Because I think I need one. Or maybe a little bit of both. I need to cut out the parts of my brain that wander about aimlessly and get diverted by shiny objects and add a part in that... well... a part that gets stuff done I guess.
I had a quick meeting with Stilwell this morning about the state of things. He seems entirely unconcerned about my qualifier as if it's just going to magically pass itself. I mentioned that I felt it was more important for me to focus on the paper and presentation now rather than getting the last bits of equations figured out and he agreed but noted that the presentation should only take "a couple of days" assuming I had a really perfect paper written. I dunno, I guess it should since technically I have all the information already and once the paper is perfected that information will be organized perfectly. But yeah, I think I take longer than necessary when doing presentations. Or at least I spend a lot of time staring at blank slides doing nothing and then in the last few hours I add a whole bunch of content. I really don't want that to happen. But for now I think I'll take Stilwell's advise and focus primarily on the paper which is nearly done anyway I think, it just needs some tweaks and then a couple revisions from him.
As usual I had an uncontrollable urge to get out of the lab and do work at Bollo's so... I'm here now and hopefully make some progress. Wish me luck. My brain will need it.
