research is hard

i ran full-speed into a wall today. it's too early at this point to know if this derails my progress over the past couple of weeks, but i am definitely investigating the matter thoroughly to ensure my conclusions are still correct and all other possibilities are ruled out. coming up with accurate conclusions that are scientifically sound is extremely difficult. i guess that is where the expert knowledge creeps in unknowingly; during the process of making sure everything is correct and no other possibilities exist.

it was really hard to focus today. my mind was wondering all over the place. i cannot afford to waste any days. i hope tomorrow proves to be more productive and efficient.
