My motivation and steady work pattern has collapsed like a souffle!

I have a lot left to do but know that it is just about possible if I could summon up the motivation to do it! Even dreaming of the title doesn't do it since it doesn't mean as much as I thought it would do to me. Raking over new drafts, old drafts, and in between bits = argh!

I think I am just tired and exhausted by the whole thing. Just fed-up.

Must get down to it. I have two chapters I love and two that I hate. I am trying to even up the quality of the last two which I must spend this week on. Then next week will be raking over the introduction and conclusion again. Again. The third draft of the conclusion and still it does not feel like it is the "final" conclusion.

I trust and respect my supervisors but I just wish they had told me at what stage my work would get me a "pass" even with major corrections - rather then drown in a sea of endless drafts.

:-(

you will get there chrisrolinski!!! remember that! it's better to go through all the crappy drafts and revisions now than getting major revisions, can you imagine having to go back to it AGAIN after your viva and rehaul everything?! Just keep thinking that this is the last push, and once you get through this next week and a half, that's it! it's done! never mind about the title, think about all the lovely sleep you can catch up on, and all the fun things you can do once you're handed in! and we are all here for you whenever you need a pep talk! (up)

:) Thanks. Yes, another set of huge corrections would be my end!
