Ok, ok. So I spent 2-1/2 hours today working on my thesis, which is more than I have spent total over the past 1-1/2 years. I’m not sure why I am so lame about writing my thesis; actually, I do know but it sounds like a ream of excuses. I’ll spare you except for one. I did nothing to prepare for my thesis during my two years of coursework and for some reason, despite significant encouragement from a wise colleague who was also in the program. So when thesis time came for me, I was overwhelmed at the thought and didn’t know where to start. And I still am…
However, I must soldier on or face losing the chance to actually graduate.
Today I made major steps:
- enrolled in the Summer 2010 Thesis Continuation class
- e-mailed the program chair to ask for her grace to retroactively add me to the spring Thesis Continuation class
- conducted initial journal research and identified sources, downloaded articles
- began to sketch out my pre-proposal
I shall share my pre-proposal on Monday night.
