How to write my senior thesis
It made me 
"grueling, sleep deprived, but ultimately accomplished"
How I did it: my senior thesis for feminist studies at UCSC ended up being over 30 pages (20 is the minimum requirement) and is about women's health issues in u.s. prisons as an extension of punishment, why that is wrong, and how a human rights approach privileging individual experience can help

Tendo is thinking of things to learn
Got a topic!

So I have decided to write about the spiritual journey in Knut Hamsun’s “Hunger” and his decline with a christian god while in pursuit of a spiritual connection with the ocean.
I’m going to start writing today… it’s decided.

I’m going to the university library tomorrow morning to research the collection of diaries. I’ve never worked with archival sources before, so this will be a new experience. Looking forward to it. . . .
Making progress

I’ve located a diary and a letter collection from a Civil War soldier. Still waiting to hear back from a librarian at the archive. I want to make sure no one’s published on these sources before. :-)
A Beginning
18 months ago
I have one more final exam before I am officially a senior! This also means that I now have less than a year before I have to turn in a 90-page history thesis.
Yay. First step is to pick a topic and find sources. I’m interested in studying llinois Civil War history but will have to see what sources I can track down first. :-)
I’ve ordered some books from the library, so they should be waiting for me when I get home from school in a few days. I also have a few leads on some newspaper and letter collections that could be useful.
Here goes.

I just got my senior thesis adviser, Bettina Aptheker, so in the next quarter or so I should start my thesis on issues in library science and feminism….not entirely sure yet.
Two years in the making
2 years ago
I’m technically a senior, well I’ve been one for a semester or so and I’ll be one for another two years. WOOT! I could tell you the story how I was lost and now I’m found so the end is near, but I won’t. The story, I have my topic pretty much down. And I have a ton of research. Now I haven’t really read any but to be honest I don’t have to write this for another two years. The fact that its in the forefront of my mind bothers me. And i fear I’m putting too much into it and that after two years I’ll be burned out…I mean this isn’t my PhD, its for a friggin’ BA in History. So I’m really just not going to touch my research until my capstone class in two years. I say this but I know I’ll look at it and maybe thats better because I’ll slowly digest all the information.
