Graduate

I started to look for a place for my master’s thesis. It took me over a year to even start it. I’ve been working like never before during the last month, and it has delayed me; I promised myself that I’d start the process latest in November, but now I exceeded the limit with one day.

Well, starting is always difficult. I just can’t allow myself any more excuses.

I haven’t been doing much to graduate lately – or for the last two years, since I’ve just been working. Two days ago I tried to get a grip on myself and finally wrote a simple email asking for help with a project I haven’t been able to finish.

Now I’m needing more of discipline to keep on bombing the staff of my laboratory (my major, that is) so that I’ll get one of the two missing courses out of my way before starting to think of the master’s thesis.

Graduating from a university is a challenge, when there’s no one but you kicking your butt to do the required things.

I just thought that I have to realize graduation process is just a series of small tasks; I had been pushing out of my mind an email I had to write to the head of my laboratory to ask whom I could start pestering with using a program. Now I did it, after evading it for over two weeks.

If I think that graduation as a big, single goal, it will be feeling like an overwhelming issue. I have to tear it down to a series of small things.
