The most depressing dissertation diagram ever!


"The dissertation wave"

Sigh. It's been a tough week. I'm officially halfway through my dissertation draft (4 chapters in draft form), but it feels like I'm just barely keeping afloat.

So, I turned to one of my "helpful" dissertation books to find the following diagram.

I'm now adding "despondent" to the "three Ds" Sternberg describes in his book, "How to Complete and Survive a Doctoral Dissertation."

From a survivor of the feelings that that diagram represents, I can only say...Hang in there and ride out the waves.
