A couple of weeks ago, I managed to send out a draft of the new prospectus after pulling what I could from the wreckage of the last one. I am not looking forward to going through this process again, especially with the fear that I might find out that it's all for naught a few months down the line like I did with the last one.
This self-destructive cycle has not gotten me anywhere (well, not far anyway). I need to pull myself out of this rut that I am in. As one step of this, I am cutting myself off from all video games (especially Overwatch) for the time being. While I believe that video games do help to relieve (or at least redirect) my stress, I have been hiding behind them too much lately. This is not something that will help with my mood, so beware.
Please keep up the encouragement. I would prefer that people not ask me how the dissertation is going (unless you are ready for a technical rundown), but rather give me simple reminders to keep up the good fight. Hopefully, I will have positive news to share in the months to come.
