So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

It's the Final Countdown
Saturday. 4.2.11 10:25 am
I have to print out my thesis next Thursday.

I'm still writing my last chapter. You know, the chapter I didn't even really realize was supposed to be a real chapter, the chapter which I just assumed was akin to a conclusion, since it was called the "synthesis" chapter; the chapter that everyone told me I could use to write whatever I wanted to freely explore the implications of my years and years of work? The chapter which my advisor then said should not be whatever I wanted in the least, and should instead be yet another complete, fully publishable unit, in which I didn't necessarily have to synthesize anything at all?

This is where the Nanowrimo-honed skills come in handy, the skills of just writing, writing and writing, words and words and more words, never looking back, always surging forward, occasionally checking the holy word count... right now I'm at 2605, which would be pretty good for an average Nanowrimo day... (notwithstanding that I wrote almost half of these words yesterday) but this day has to be like one of those insane, "I'm-10,000-words-behind" kind of days, the kind of day with 5000 words, 6000 words, a veritable tsunami of words that descends onto the unsuspecting blank pages of Microsoft Office 2003.

Only neither tsunamis nor fiction-writers have to stop every single sentence to verify their claims with a well-chosen reference to the peer-reviewed literature.
And neither fiction-writers nor tsunamis have all the deficiencies of their work immediately thrown back into their faces for a second, third, or fourth round of editing.

Meanwhile the citizens of Providence play frisbee outside my window on a lazy Saturday during Spring Break.

I do believe you are encouraging all of us who are still undergrads to not attempt grad school because of the nightmare that is the thesis.
» randomjunk on 2011-04-02 08:44:56

I don't like writing a thesis and I thank god I don't need to write a thesis... well, not ever but still, if I play my cards right, I won't.

Good luck with writing the last chapter!!

I love writing ... but for my own accord. I remember having to write stuff in school that required so many references, quotes, paraphrases, etc. That was never any fun. I wish you the best of luck my friend.
