Dissertation Fatigue

This should be an actual psychological diagnosis. I have been cranking out dissertation for two days straight, breaking only to sleep and eat (a record for diligence and productivity). 32 pages and counting!

It's been great for my stress level to ratchet up the velocity on my dissertation proposal, but my brain. is. tired.

And my sentences keep getting shorter and shorter.

I'm seriously tempted to end my dissertation with, "In conclusion, I write good. The end. Love, Elizabeth."

Scholarly stuff.

Back to the grind...see you in November!

Also - let me know if you have a hankering for some light reading. Perhaps you'd like to proofred a little blurb I like to call "Efficacy Expectations as a Mediating Variable in Marital Conflict Resolution".

should "proofred" read "proofread"? if so, i think I am your woman. :-)

It is bad to write your dissertation for straight days. It can be the start of problems like misspells, wrong grammar, and even idea being in the wrong place. It is advisable to have a break every once in a while when writing PhD dissertation. Even just walking from room to room can help refresh the brain. Anyway, what happen to your dissertation, Elizabeth?
