& so I rcvd chow's email on nrp report. Trust me, it was terrifying and pressurising. And funny too. Funny in that a 6-page report could strike me so hard. I mean, all I need to do is a 6-page report and here I am getting all worked up and stressed up.
Why? Simply cuz of a lack of motivation. I think this project, like most (if not all) other projects I've received, do not contribute to the current repository of knowledge (no improvement to science). So if the symposium judges were to ask me that, I can just thank them for a participation cert on the spot.
I dunno why, but nrp's getting on my nerves. Maybe it's the nature and the subject matter of the project. And I may or may not be paranoid, but I hope my supervisor isn't overseas (like back in India or sth) or else I'm dead meat. Man, I really need some results and guidance too. Thank god the report's due on 8 Jan, which is before school starts, or else I will just go and die alr. Indeed, April `10 shall be much anticipated.
And really, I hope this buay song thingy is only for this time. I hope it's not a sign of a larger issue that I'm unaware of, sth like a looming distaste for research.
Or maybe it's a natural human emotion cuz of the nature of research... the ups and downs. And I happen to be hitting the trough now. It's high-time for some crests.
That aside, gd luck to all the rv nrp ppl. I think most of us (if nt all) are struggling badly.
