Instructions:
This is how I write my thesis:
1. Write a paragraph or two.
2. Feel overwhelmed at not knowing enough information and revert back to books/look up more articles on JSTOR
3. Realize I a) don't want to read any more articles from JSTOR and b) don't have time to.
4. Go from browsing JSTOR to browsing other websites, blog updates, new Bush-isms on my personalized Google Home Page, etc.
5. Reprimand myself like so: "Katie Elaine, you have to get back to work!"
6. Get up, stretch, walk around for a minute, and then sit back down.
7. Write another paragraph or two.
Repeat.
It's a long process. I have less than 24 hours now, though, so I really need to keep plugging away and just tell myself it's ok that it's the most pathetic little thesis in existence. I mean, it's a non-thesis after all. I really was never cut out for grad school. I'm glad it's almost over. Just 24 hours.
