How to write my thesis by hennis

"difficult enterprise, but through annoyments and being stuck at times, one learns valuable lessons. It's true, I learnt most from my mistakes.. :)"

How I did it: Perseverance, interest, positiveness...

First I read a lot, than I discussed a lot. I came to the conclusion that my objectives could not be reached within a year, so I changed my subject to somewhat more graspable, and then started over again. I stayed happy most of the time.

Lessons & tips: Seek a little help, but follow your own line and ideas, be positive most of the
time, and always seek the interesting stuff that happen in the world
and relate to the problem you want to tackle. Try to create meaning and
something meaningful.

More "How I Did It" stories

Feeling Hopeful wonders why the titles of many of my entries lately have been numbers.

It took me
11 months
It made me
Ecstatic!

How I did it: I chose a general topic and then narrowed it down to an area that needed more research.  I set deadlines for each component of my research and writing, and stuck to them.I really pushed myself at times because I knew my graduation date depended on it being completed by a certain time. Read how I did it…

    Wow, 8 months ago I wrote "totally motivated" 2 months ago

    ... and since that moment I hardly made any progress. How bad is that! I really want to finish my thesis this year, but I just can’t get to it. Blegh.

    And the prospect to be unemployed after graduating isn’t really motivating..

    I think I have an ending. 2 months ago

    Finally. The water went cold in the shower, but I think I worked it through.

    I’ve got my first lesson of the semester tomorrow, though. So we’ll soon see if I really do have an ending or not. Or a beginning and middle for that matter.

    I feel like I’m on the right track with this. I’ve thought long and hard about the drama and flow of the entire piece. It’s just all of the notes and little interludes that have yet to settle themselves.

    Kind of, half way there? 3 months ago

    The vocal line is pretty much all set. At least rhythmically. And all in the computer with pretty accurate tempos! 14 minutes sofar!

    I need to hunker down, though and write the interludes and accompaniment…

    In two weeks…

    Eek!

    MM Composition 7 months ago

    10 minute piece for voice and orchestra based on a friend’s essay.

    This summer I will write all the music and by fall semester I can orchestrate it.

    Sounds easy enough. We’ll see how it goes.

    Totally motivated :) 10 months ago

    I started a file system with small cards to organise my notes and literary sources in an easy accesible way. Yesterday I had a one day course called ‘train your brain’ and learned, among other things, speedreading and mindmapping, which makes me really motivated. I already started to develop a mindmap for my proposal, and for my research plan. And the speedreading makes me think that, when I control it compeltely, I will be able to reach my goals much more relaxed.

    This is going to work! I’m definitly gonna get that 8.5 for my thesis, I’m sure! :)

    Stuck in research 10 months ago

    I’m doing research and completely frustrated. I am trying to keep my mind on the bigger picture because I want a teaching job. So I will just have to keep at this until it is finished. At first I thought I could just sit down and write it from A-Z….but instead I’m stuck in the research phase and just keep spinning my wheels. The hard part trying to finalize my topic. I’ll just have to pick something and move forward.

    STEP 1: By the end of this week I will finalize the proposal and work on my introduction. Without those I can’t move on.
