How to finish my thesis
It made me
happy, relieved
 "A lonely struggle..."
How I did it: This was a long journey, and I might not be the best to give advice. Motivation has been lacking in my case but hey I finally got there. Also, I don;t want to blame my supervisors but they sure didn't help. Procrastinating made it take longer than I wished. I learned about time management. Lessons & tips:

Happy to be finished
How I did it: With lots of stress, but now I have the shot at a Masters, only the viva voce to go! It was hard work, with very little support from my supervisors, who fell out in the middle of it so I on;y had half the work in it, but managed to fill it inot a whole thesis. I couldn't have done it without Harrimus :) Read how I did it…

It made me
Smarter
How I did it: That's right. I'M FINALLY DONE!!!!!!How'd I do it? I worked. And worked. And worked. And then I worked some more, until I didn't think I could work for another second. A thesis is not for the faint of heart. It's not just a project. It becomes a lifestyle and a journey of self-exploration. Read how I did it…

It made me
Relieved
How I did it: It took me a long time to decide on a topic that I was actually deeply interested in. Once decided, it was difficult for me to work with the program, as it was new and they didn't have a reliable system for how things would be handled and we both had issues with each other. As a result, I lost all motivation to continue a few months in. A year or so later, it was do or die time (deadline in order to graduate loomed near)… Read how I did it…

It made me
content and tired
How I did it: I used all kinds of strategies to get me through this project. I had to learn to be organised, be patient with myself and trust that I'd be able to get it done.It demolished my confidence at times and had me lose faith in humanity at certain points (I was researching climate change and peoples willingness to take action...in a nutshell, I found that people don't want to change!), but I kept telling myself 'this will make you stronger...ke… Read how I did it…

All of my research is finished, but...
6 days ago
I cannot seem to finish my paper! I work full-time and went back to school for my masters. It was SO much work, that when I finished classes/research, I just gave up! But I walked at graduation in May, and have promised all of my loved ones for a year that I would finish… I guess this is my last chance. Why can’t I seem to get it done?
A long-cut-short road ahead
1 month ago
Right, so I’m doing my Masters degree. Most people take at least a year to write up their thesis, I get 10 months. See, if I hand in my first draft by the end of September, the varsity will pay for me to spend October – December at the University of Oslo, Norway. No pressure!
I’m definitely not the most motivated person, and I hate deadlines. Aah!

In days like this, energy doesn’t appear, i get stressed so easily and it seems there is no way to finish this soon!! the worst thing is that feeling this, is impossible to move on. Two months left and a lot of work is not already done…

I'm done

It took a year longer than expected, but still I’m quite happy with the way it turned out. A few months after my last entry I decided to start over completely with a brand new topic. After that, the whole process went so much smoother.
deadline is coming!!!
1 month ago
The deadline to finish my thesis is coming!! as usual i always regret the time that i wasted before. I’m in the process to learning that in order to conquer things and make your dreams come true you just have to kick yourself in the butt and DO IT!!!, there is no other magical solution. I’m late but optimistic, there is still too much hard work but i think i can do it.
Promise the next entry (in a month or less)i will have good news!!
Thinking About It Again
1 month ago
I am really interested in my thesis topic. I never stopped thinking about it, just work and life overwhelmed me and I could let this go. I plan on enrolling in the fall course and having it done by December. I will do as much research as I can now, over the summer, so that when I enroll I will be ahead of schedule and will feel better about spending time with my friends and traveling.

Oliver Emmler asks,
“I'm almost done but MS Word is consuming my last power. As the masters thesis is waiting next ... anyone a hint about different appropriate text editors?”
