Riding the emotional roller coaster

Writing a PhD thesis is hard. It is also quite taxing on the old heart. I've been from supreme confidence of finishing, to thinking I don't have enough results, to having too many ideas to get down, to wanting to cut some stuff out, then contemplating a potential career as the bass player in a kick ass ska band. And that was all this morning!

Sometimes you just have to step back and look a the big picture, and stop a single big task from becoming all consuming. Easier said than done though...
