Paper...

Today I did not touch any work and had a whole day off. It is a bit special day to me. I think I have some sound reason to enjoy myself totally and keep smile and happy for the whole day. The only pity is that I have not found the nail color I want to wear today, although I searched it for a long time. 


I was pretty happy although being alone as usual all day, until reading my supervisor's email just now. I feel really bad and I realize that I did things wrong. Although Pro.C did not say harsh words and only asked me a simple question in the email, I can feel he is quite unhappy about my attitude towards my paper and my poor paper. I sent him a paper full of typos and mistakes before serious review. I thought he would only be interested in the tables and the numbers like me. I hope tomorrow he will not be mad at me. Normally when nice people become serious and give some negative comments, it is really horrible. Pray. I am really scared and I hope Pro.C is not angry with me. 

I only spent three or four days writing the paper. My nice supervisor reminded me to write it as early as possible several times. Therefore I really deserve the criticism. I saved all the things to the last minute. It is my problem I know that. Not until the last minute, not to start. And from time to time, I even get fun of doing things this way, because I feel good to complete things and get things ready in a short time. However, now I know writing paper is not like taking some tests. How much time you spend on it has a more positive relationship with the output. 


OK, OK, stop now. I feel too bad. Let's change the topic, or I will become sleepless tonight. What I learned from this paper writing experience? 


Paper writing is not that bad in fact. Only looking at the results without writing something about it, you still have no clear idea of what behind those numbers. Writing paper can help you get a clearer idea of what you are doing. With the results, you think you can explain everything and the logic is good. However, the fact always does not go as you imagine. 

Reading literature is import to writing a paper. The more you read, the more ideas you may have. It is important. I think I learned such a lesson when I wrote my master thesis. However, obviously, I did not really take a lesson from it. 


Start as early as possible. The other day when I talked with Pro.K, his words inspired me and I found myself did not have plan at all. I should really get rid of the bad habit of being lazy and saving all the things to the last minute. If you don't start, you will never finish. I always say to myself that it is OK if I cannot graduate in time. But if a slow and lazy person, like me, plans to graduate in 5 years, he/she must not be able to graduate in 5 years. If I plan to graduate in 4 years, maybe I still have a chance to graduate in 5 years. If I don't force myself to write papers, I will never write a single word. 


OK. Stop here. Hope Pro.C will not be angry with me tomorrow. Hope Pro.C will not be angry with me tomorrow. Hope Pro.C will not be angry with me tomorrow. Keep smiling. Keep smiling. Keep smiling. Go to bed. Go to bed. Go to bed.
