28. Nothing. Campus visitor, though, and some discussion of topic.29, 30. Grinding. Polishing, working slowly on bibliography and notes, finding and fixing errors.

I’ll go back to July’s log and take notes from it, but I essentially struggled the whole time when I did try to work and could not figure out my transitional sentence. I did that today, August 1, and polished it. It wasn’t a writing problem, it was a thought problem. I think that, except … More August log
