On writing chapter two...

This thesis is really hard work. It totally sucks and I'm exhausted.

I just want to record this fact so that when I'm basking in the glow of success (or at least in the mildly warm glow of thesis completion), I will be reminded that it took hard work. I want to be reminded that I stressed over verb tenses and paragraph order and whether or not Satie joined the military to escape the Conservatoire or stayed at the Conservatoire to escape military service and whether or not that portion of his biography is even relevant to my topic and, if so, whether I should include it in the body of the paper or as a footnote.

I also stress over long sentences. I have a terrible habit of writing extremely long sentences.
