what am i doing? / where am i going?

that pretty much sums up how i am feeling at the moment. the plan of action i thought i had set in stone has clearly gone awry. the worst part about it is that i saw things taking a turn for the worst and was absolutely helpless in trying to turn the ship around. this week has rained on my my blissful research outlook parade and has served as a wake-up call and welcome back to my research here. somehow, i have got to find a way to keep fighting through this time and get out of this storm.........................QUICKLY. i would hate to have nothing to show for my return to cambridge when i go back home for the holidays.
