So it has been hard going and I feel like giving up so many times but I will keep at it cause my close loved ones are encouraging me though like myself they are frustrated at my slowwwww progress. Most importantly I am trusting God to lead me through this cause i know he is with me wherever I may go.



May 27 6 months ago

It will end on that day. That is when I am going to give my final thesis defense. What remains between now and that time seems tremendous and challenging.



Finish Line 6 months ago

I finally made it! Light, what a relief; what a nightmare. Ended up having to revise my citations the night before it was due and ran it in on my lunch break today.

Bah, but it’s over! And soon I’ll have my degree!



Will it ever end? 6 months ago

I have changed my topic 4 times since October 2007. I am still having trouble with clearly stating my goals and organizing my chapters. My defense is set for April 30th. I have nothing left in me. There is no one to provide the motivation and support I need. My advisor is not the one for me. Wish I could start over and have my year+ back.



Revisions Are Back 7 months ago

Kind of hard to tell how, I did. I have a meeting with my thesis adviser on Wednesday to discuss her comments. Which is good, because I am heartily confused.

I don’t think she liked how I formatted the paper, and I’ll fess up. I got a bit creative with it. I formatted it as I would a report on marketing findings or a short magazine article, in non-connected sections with Heds and Deks. It was just more…fun that way, I suppose. I’m so tired and bored of writing academic papers. English as many of you may know is a writing-intensive degree. Publishing has been less so, thankfully, because the courses are more busisness orientated. The writing assignments we do have though can be quite a bit longer because, hey, it’s grad shcool after all.

Almost done! 8 months ago

Turned in my rough draft today. Will soon be done!



1/3 Done, 8 months ago

But the rough draft is in two weeks, and I don’t expect my computer to live through the weekend. Will be typing this up on an 7 year old spare laptop.

success! the lit review is done 10 months ago

Well, the lousy weather is conducive to staying inside and writing. I just finished the literature review that would never end. Some days a paragraph was a huge success, others I managed to write a couple of pages. I’ve heard that’s the slowest part. Today I take a break (Happy New Year!!!) and tomorrow I start on my methodology. I have to take advantage of this time off from work…

... all that’s been going on – I totally fell of the train …

Wonder if there’ll ever be a next train to catch?
