not done
*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…
*sigh*

I know a German physician (area of speciality: genetics), who has become an academic editor. She’s editing in German and in English. I know she edits for a publisher for medical stuff. If you want to, I can mail you her e-mail adress.
Thank you so much, Juno. My paper is too much of a mess right now to warrant professional help and it is just a school paper. However, at some point, I hope that we’ll be able to combine this paper with the data analysis and have a real paper to publish. Then I’ll take you up on your offer!
*hugs*

🙂
Good luck with the mess!
And I hope the shoulder is improving…
The shoulder is doing much better and would be fantastic if I could take a break from this computer! 🙂
I had a dream about you last night, where I discovered that your real name was Dora and your husband was Charlie. Have no idea if that’s real or not, but I thought I’d let you know that you were in my (subconscious) thoughts!

Curiously enough I have used the pseudonym Dora Gray.
However, my husband’s name is not Charlie…
But that’s great! I often dream about my flisters, about meeting them… this is the first time that someone dreamed about me! *squee*
