Gettin' sh*t done!

Yesterday was abysmal. Today, however, was sheer genius. I got a veritable assload of work done today. I read and digested a half dozen articles that are not in my field, but are related to my research. I wrote (some). And I made one intriguing connection that I'll include in my prospectus. Why am I blogging about this? It's just another day of work, after all. The thing is, I'm on deadline (honestly, when am I not these days?). I'm editing my prospectus to turn in to my committee (that's my entire committee, not just my advisor whom I adore and trust) on the 18th. They'll read it, send me their comments (which probably won't focus on the font), and then I'll have a week to incorporate their suggestions into the final product. I'll defend the whole thing, including my qualifying exam answers, on May 9th. Work has been a bit slow and lurching lately, and I've been feeling slightly melancholy about it. So today, my day of sheer genius, was a red-letter day. :)
