Have you ever read this blog? The answer is no, obviously. I don't even read it. And if I wasn't the one writing it, I would avoid this place at all costs. But if you did, you'd know two facts: (1) I don't post very often, and (2) the writing here sucks. So why did I opt to write a fucking dissertation?
Writing this thing is grueling. It's probably one of the worst experiences of my life. I churn out pages of garbled bullshit that wouldn't pass for rational discourse at a teabagger rally attended solely by 12-year-olds suffering from recent, severe cranial blunt force trauma.
If it wasn't for spellcheck, I'd be completely fucked. I don't bother to turn on Word's grammar check function. Who needs to see all of those green underlines?
On top of all of that, it isn't even that great of a project.
What the fuck was I thinking?
What the fuck, indeed.

Ok, thats just downright scary for a guy who has a year or so to go before he gets down to writing.

Sorry, man. It's the truth. Or at least for me it is. I'm sure others have had better experiences. The data collection and analysis parts were definitely more fun.
At one point I actually thought the proposal writing portion was the worst part. But it's definitely the actual writing and this is coming from someone whose results were in line with his hypotheses. I can't imagine what it would be like if the results were equivocal or worse.
I can't wait to be done.
