i did my best this weekend, but my thesis is still not done... i had such a productive day yesterday, i was on top, i was focused, i met my goal... but today my brain was mush and i flopped around like a fish on land....... squeezed out two paltry paragraphs about sun dials and water clocks........ unfortunately my source for this particular section is a very long and dense text, and i have to sort of. extract the Essence. i need to dig up three paragraphs that explain the Things like an artefact from a burial site. can i do it? i must do it. i will do it

#but not Now because it's midnight.#maybe i can write notes at school tomorrow?#i should have taken more notes before today........#i haven't read the whole book but ive read several sections and im always like aha i get it i get the vibes #but when i need to recall the specifics it's uh. well! people used clocks to tell time. we have. proof of this. yes #swedenquest #honestly on saturday i was mostly summerizing/translating another summary #and even that took me a full day wtf #even if i got preemptively distracted about the question of Why twelve hours and hunting down a source #do you know what ive settled on. 'ancient culturules like babylonia assyria and sumeria used twelve as a base for many measurements'#IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT DOES IT
