Bored. Tired. Mainly tired. It's hard to justify boredom when reading American Gods counts as academic work. I could do without the gleeful application of Freud by Joseph Campbell though. Studied Freud, did a presentation on Freud, concluded that Freud was a complete and utter wacko. With Serious Issues. He's not allowed to touch my dissertation with a ten foot barge pole.
That said, no one'll be touching my dissertation unless I actually start doing some work. I've decided it'll take me at least the rest of this week to finish all the reading, a couple of days (or three) to plan it right, then at least a week to write. That makes sixteen days, all going to plan (which it won't). My deadline is twenty four days away, minus the minumum two days I have to spend at home and the need to get it done at least the night before to get it bound. Plus a couple of days of rewrites and at least a day for referencing and footnotes.
That, by my calculation, means my dissertation should (re. note about going to plan) take about nineteen days of the twenty-one I have left.
... Yeah. Kinda wondering why I'm sitting here working this out instead of carrying on with the reading.
