First day of bootcamp today. In pain now, but I’m really going to feel it tomorrow in my “Butt & Gut” class. Ugh. Worse, there was this super hot red headed girl there who knew how to do everything and then some. She was bootcamp pro. Which is great because she served as inspiration and everything but let’s face it: I’m never going to be a hot red head. I’m shooting for above average arms blonde. That’s realistic, I think.

Anyway, it was painful. But it got me started early, which is always a good thing. I’m far more productive in the morning than in the afternoon. However, no matter how productive I am, I can no longer hide the fact that the thesis isn’t. getting. done. I don’t really know how that’s possible, given that I sit in front of my computer for 12 hours each day and write like a demon, but I feel as though it’s going no where. Fast. Blah. I had to meet with my supervisor today who said in the nicest way possible ‘where the fuck is your next chapter’? (She’s actually super patient with me but I think she worries that I’m floating in a thesis abyss from which I will never return…she may be right). I deftly avoided the question by turning the discussion to her book that I’m doing research work for and the topic was dropped. But sooner or later I’m going to have to produce this bloody chapter…can’t avoid the subject forever….
