Interrresteeenggg [Roll the "r", drag the "e" and pronounce the "g" as "k" and you've got it right ^^*].
I'd obviously much rather lie at the beach in Bali and paint my nails than write my introduction ... which I STILL haven't reached halfway mark for ... Yes, I don't even know where the halfway mark is anymore. For regular lab reports of ~2000 / 4000 words I will write beautifully crafted introductions that take me about 5 new revamps ... complete revamps, with 5x blank pages and 5 back-to-square-one's and 5x the confusion ... all obviously in the span of 1 week [streeesss]. I anticipated this with my thesis as well ... except, the entire introduction is as long as 1 bloody lab report ... and it has occured [I believe this currently is my intro number 6 or 7]. But that's ok. By now, if my revamping actions don't occur I actually think the assignment is bad and something must be wrong with it haha. I have gotten so used to my odd ways of writing things ... It's hilarious.
Anyhow, so part of my beautifully crafted introductions = an undisturbed flow of information. Oneee idea flooooows to the neeeexttt and the nexxxt and the nexxxxttt ... Yes. That's until I had to write this thesis. For about a week and a half now I have been trying to DESPERATELY link neuropsychology / hemisphere stuff with bloody situation models. It's like trying to point out the similarities in sausages and apples. Exactly, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE!
So this morning I came to the brilliant realization [no giggles, please] that I was only ever able to write such beautifully crafted introductions, because I only ever looked at 1 thing in my short lab reports ... i.e.: analyze apples. The designs were only ever a 2x2 (interaction between 2 variables and 2 variables) or a 1x2 (or 1 v and 2v) or what not ... Now that my design is a 2x2x3 (the interaction between 2v, 2v and 3v *WAH*), I can't possible write it quite as smoothly. There HAS to be a cut in my topic at some point to introduce a different topic i.e.: the sausages.
Time for some minor revamping again, but I believe that this realization has just solved my problem ... after a week and a half [time that I actually didn't have]. *fingers crossed* Let me see how it works out.
