*sigh*
Paper is still not done.
Right now, it is 14 pages of mess. 6 pages are the "appendices" of the survey that I had already written (and don't count), 2 pages are references (of which half will be cut out), one page is completely blank which for some reason won't delete (why? I don't understand. Nothing shows up abnormally in the "reveal codes" stuff). That leaves 5 pages... 3 are from a paper that I had to submit to administer the survey to human subjects (my fellow medical students) and in the wrong tense. The remaining are outline notes from my presentation. Not to mention the various notes concerning what the paper is supposed to be around that are inserted randomly.
And yet... this is an improvement. Everything's organized in the way I want, most of that will fix with some editing (I hope), leaving me only the discussion part to tackle, which I've been trying to work on to no avail most of the day. I've discovered that I've misplaced several of the articles I had researched earlier. And I haven't been able to track down some information that I desperately need to make the discussion stronger. So I'm stuck, and I can't be, because there will be serious repercussions if I don't get this submitted this weekend.
*sigh*
Can I just be pathetically woeful and state that I miss my study-buddy and friend? Stupid git gets to play in the warm sun and frolic in crystal beaches and I'm stuck here writing this endless dribble. And if his stupid fiancee hadn't been so stupid (still kinda hate her. Am trying to improve on that), I'd be there now, enjoying a wedding reception and the beaches myself. *grumbles* But nooo, instead I'm lonely and writing a paper by myself without the pleasant distractions of our word games or laughter, or without his input that always seemed to light the muse so that I could finally get the words out that I needed to say.
If anybody's up for a really, really, really bad editing job, let me know. It probably would qualify you as certifiably insane, but...
