motivation
don't you just hate it when you know you have work to do, but you really don't want to do it? well, i'm at that place right now. i just need to analyze a few more videos for my user study. after that, i get to clean the data up and hopefully start analyzing soon after.
the funny thing is, that i get into a zone after i've done my first one. sure it's tedious, but i think it's not so bad after i get the first two done. the problem is getting started. in my mind i think about how tedious it is, and it's really hard for me to motivate myself to do it.
some days the flexibility of being a grad student is really hard. bleh.

Completely agree. I've found that I have two options: 1) work hard, or 2) prevent those around me from working hard.
Won't say which one I prefer.
Have you seen www.phdcomics.com? Muy funny and pretty much describes my work ethic on most days.
