You know that sinking feeling..

.. when you realize just how far off your objectives you really are?

No? Well yeah, I’m kinda in that zone right now. Want to get the experiments up and running again asap but there are shit loads of papers to mark this term. Add to the fact that the experimental results haven’t been encouraging and the long term goal of the project seems so distant from the current work and yeah, things are looking pretty messy at the moment..


Then, there’s the small matter of not knowing how the feedback on the progress report is going to be and a looming conference paper submission deadline for which I don’t have a suitable title for.
