aw man, I procrastinated big time this morning checking things about super and rescheduling appointments and shit. Now it’s quarter to 9, and I have a stinking headache, and the results section that I really thought was gonna be easy, has been SO HARD because I fucking hate stats and don’t understand any of it and I’ve been having a long back and forth with chatgpt to try and understand how to describe differences and shit and my brain HURTS. This is the part about academic research I loathe the most. I hate stats so much. Gaaaaaaah! Even when I think I understand I DON’T!
Hours and hours just to output three measly, but crucial, paragraphs for a total of 476 words… the discussion is gonna have to be a lot more streamlined, I’ve not even started on writing out full sentences 😭 However, at least I now have a much better structure with which to concisely discuss the various findings (and merge things together in a sensible way), and also much more academically sound points (not just the equivalent of “yeah I reckon”, but “look at the shape and statistical significance of shit”).
Plus, I did a much-overdue data cleanup that I thought I’d give up on but really was better to do and not cleverly hide, so at least now I can confidently say my methods section is 99% (missing a couple references I can find at the last minute), and my results is 100%. Intro still stuck at 75% from Saturday…
Imma need some real powerful concentration juice tomorrow to (a) not procrastinate and (b) write that discussion section like I’m on fire before losing a lot of time in throwing in references and then reading up on that stupid paper so I can finish the 25% left of the intro. For now, I think I’m going to call it quits and go home before this headache gets any worse…
