How I did it: It was a few years ago when I did it. All the memory has faded away as I'm good at forgetting unhappy moments in life. I worked in Starbucks a lot as I couldn't write a word at home. I procrastinated until I reached the point that if I couldn't finish by a certain date I couldn't graduate on time. I pushed myself really hard to get it done. I also got support from my ex who I didn't treat well in return. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Began with research in U.S. and abroad. Compiled sources found and formulated new questions. Pieced info together. Defined arguments. Wrote, wrote, wrote! Edited. Finished! Read how I did it…
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…
goodbyeclarity got her Master's Degree today!
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…

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…

I’m intimidated by my doctoral thesis!! It’s been taking me more than three years. I’m finally just getting over myself and just doing it! so far so good…but it’s really hard to keep myself motivated!

“i don’t understand why i don’t feel motivated to do any thesis work!” i was so stressed out about it that i had to call up my friend and asked what i should do. i said to him that i don’t believe in my work anymore and i am working on it halfheartedly. in response, my friend suggested me to reread my thesis proposal. he said that i need somewhat of a reminder why i even started doing this besides the fact that i need to do this to get through my degree. that’s probably the best advice he has ever given me because i did exactly what he told me to do and i am reminded why i chose the topic that i chose and how i wanted my thesis paper to be like.
even so, i’ve yet to start cracking on my official thesis report but i will get to it soon after i’ve sort out these ideas bursting in my head on how to write the paper.

i’ve basically done half of my thesis report. now i just need to do the other half and the only thing that is blocking my way is the lack of motivation to continue… urgh.
I already did the last estimation of my project, and the results were the expected. I’m waiting for the revision of my thesis director and also waiting for his approbation. Hope he don’t find a new excuse to make me do it all again.
I’m so tired of this, i can’t wait to see the day i could say i did it!! i finished!!
utopicam is struggling with Joomla
I´ve been struggling with my thesis for a while… it´s about anthropology and genetics. I just need to find the time and motivation, persevere and… do it before december!!
This has hung over my life like a big dark cloud for years now. Today I somehow mustered enough strength and energy and hope, to actually work on this again. I spend about 3 hours typing summaries of articles. But the clock is ticking…
sixteen days to go before my first draft deadline.
i was able to finally straighten up my theory, and now i’m reading up on michel foucault’s the discourse on language for me to be able to formulate the guidelines for my analysis.
my thesis is on its way to becoming a reality!
i should have finished my thesis years ago.
my unfinished study kept me in school. it made me leave school as well. afterwards
but now that i’m back in the university and 7 units away from my long overdue undergraduate degree, i really should be able to finish it. my this-is-now-or-drama has come to an end. this time, it really is now or never. i don’t think the university will still give me a chance to finish my thesis, nor obtain my undergraduate degree.
i have 19 days left to finish my first draft.
and today is the framework day.
ComplexAndSearching is gone
Based on my schedule this fall, I’ve decided to wait until January to sign up for the class. If I do it starting next month, there’s a very high likelihood I will have bitten off more than I can chew. The stuff I’m doing in September, October and November can’t be done another time while the thesis can. So I’m waiting til January.

“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?”
