better days

the last few days have been nothing short of trying. between unexpected hiccups at work to being mentally preoccupied, i finally am back on track and focused on the task at hand. i am finishing my final (*fingers crossed and knocking on wood*) experiments for this paper this afternoon, and I hope to be finished with the paper by week's end. i still have a couple weeks before the deadline though, so i am in good shape. i do need to have a productive and efficient day tomorrow to ensure the the progress i foresee. maximum utilization will be the primary objective tomorrow as i hustle to get a final draft of the paper soon.
