I am trying to seriously and completely leave behind the image I had of the "perfect dissertation" that has been looming in my mind for years! And which causes me to panic when I see myself in the always-imagined-situation of "the end" of that also imagined "perfect dissertation". So I am thinking of writing just a paper, just trying to cover as much ground as possible, above all to give it the appearance of a finished, complete and sufficient thing. This is not "that" dissertation!
And I was thinking that I need to be more practical and ruthless ("hacer de tripas corazon") in just leaving things out that I had always planned to include, and really just be a little mediocre... so to speak. No! you see, there it is creeping in again: not just "so to speak", but really dare to be mediocre.
I am hoping for a little of my cultural background from school in Mexico to come to my rescue... just hand something in and fake it a little bit if you have to.
YOU MADE IT!!!

Marce,
It has nothing to do with mediocrity, it took a lot of talent and training to get to where you are.
There are other mountains out there for you to prove how technical you are... in this particular one, you have to get to the top and come back home in one piece. See you in base camp.
Over and out.
Daniel
Marce,
Animo, no te dejes atrapar por ideas o esquemas mentales de antes. Concentrate en terminar en este tiempo. Recuerda que una de las cualidades mas valiosas que podemos tener los seres humanos es el sentido de adaptacion. Esto es lo que hay, que puedo hacer con el?
En este momento se trata de solucionar un problema con exito, escasez de recursos y tiempo, como acomodar las cosas para terminar la tesis. Lograr eso ya es llegar a la meta!
Te quiero mucho, ANIMO!!!
Ana.
PD: No se te olvide comer bien, compra nueces y fruta para snacks y toma mucha agua!
