It's been such a long long time since I got good results. Heck, even reasonable results. Everything is just going haywire now. I feel like I'm groping in darkness, searching blindly for a way out.

It's just really depressing. Is research work all about getting results, I wonder. My mentor has gone overseas and there's no one to guide me. Is there any point in me repeating the experiments when I do not know where I've gone wrong?

Sigh.
