diary of a mad grad two

9:00 - settled in, with heater, music, food, company. A veritable feast of productivity awaits.

10:30 - Oh No! but i caught the 'your computer will shut itself off in 30 seconds, destroying your precious data and the careful arrangement of windows on your dual monitors, sucker!' pop-up before it was too late. a sigh of relief.

10:45 - strong's concordance with hebrew and greek lexicon is on the fritz. this is bad, but i've found a way to work around it. a bit tedius, but so are some of the best things in life.

have rewritten the introduction, and fee it is much better. page count so far: 1 single-spaced page, and a little bit. But consider that only 10 single-spaced pages are needed... [hey, i know i'm stretching the good, but give me a break]

1:30 - bit of a production crisis. but it has been averted. some talking and caffeinated tea seems to have helped. eyes burning a bit, but faith has been restored. i can do this. i have nearly 8 full hours of writing left to me. no problem, right? current page count: 2 single-spaced pages. but there's an outline now, where before there were two failed outlines and a bunch of vague ideas. no nap yet. thinking i'll make it to 4-ish, at least. doesn't help that i slept too little last night. but well over two dozen hours to go until criminal insanity sets in, eh?
