Introduction of my thesis is around half done and I started writing the discussion section of my paper, which will be a chapter in my thesis.

Discussion writing went really well (surprisingly) and is actually almost done, just need to do some fine-tuning. I'm really excited about this paper and think this will be 10 times more interesting than my previous one. But my brain functions really slowly right now... from too much writing and thinking, it just hurts.

Also, my seminar is coming up in 2 weeks, will use that as a practice talk for my big departmental seminar in May..

Nervous nervous nervous....
