Introduction Writing
I finished that paragraph. I don't know how much detail to go into for my simulation in the introduction. Also I don't know if i have to go into detail about what an agent based model is and how this works here.

God i hate writing this shit. I am trying to write the methods part and it is so annoying. And does it matter we'll tear it apart and rewrite it 1000 times anyway. So as long as I get something so it can be edited i guess that's all that matters. Nope can't do it. This sucks too much.

Too hold off writing, I added the ability to change the on/off rates by multiplying them universally by a number. After lowering the off rate by a factor of 10 and increasing the on rate by a factor of 10, the kinesin model walks slower and takes longer to fall off, but moves less distance. So  is 1.66 and is 514.9. Compare this to normal conditions with a  1.26 of and a of 845.7. I don't like that 1.26 for time. I wonder if i can get it lower. OK i got it down to  1.05 and 843.12. So after running it with 10 times less off rate and 10 times more on rate like before the  is 1.98 and is 599.7. So a large drop in the velocity, and the length it travels, but a large increase in how long it takes to fall off. All of these were expected values over 500 sims.

So hopefully tomorrow i can get back to writing. I want to get a paper published here. For the paper it'll probably be a good idea to analyze which states are entered the most. To say here is our core cycle. That will be annoying to program though. But might be insightful.

I spoke to Evans, and he said it might be a good idea to make an outline. A very thorough one to help me tell my story. Also he said if that doesn't work dictating it might be a good idea. I can record my voice through the microphone. He also suggested writing in the morning and doing something i like to do in the afternoon. I'll try to make this outline tomorrow. I do like the idea of dictating it since i gave my candidacy no problem. Hopefully this'll help my writing problem.
