re:  tone of academic writing

Dear self:

Kindly recall that you are not yet at a point in your career where you can spend a couple of paragraphs (or a couple of pages) laboriously getting to a point and then, before you move on to discussing the point, shove in a one-sentence paragraph reading "Now, at last, we're beginning to get somewhere".

signed,
self.

HAH.
I'd leave it in and let my advisor take it out for me, hehe. But I'm evil.

Oh, yes. Same here.
