actually right now i'm feelin pretty psyched up about my thesis at the mo. (apart from all the bad shit i got from trying to get those mags and still not succeeding.) i've got plenty of things to say, some half-formed, 3/4-formed ideas, just waitin to be written out and stuff. and i haven't even really done much research at all... i mean, i've got some books and materials, skimmed ideas, but haven't really started reading.

but the trick is fully developing those ideas and organising 'em all into 12,000 words of logically-arranged sentences, paragraphs, sections, blah blah. and all my previous papers have always been written in one go... say, through the night. i can't possibly do 12,000 words through the night, so... the real challenge's really to put little parts written at different times altogether, and still make it seem really focused and good.

may she not be too shocked at my unpreparedness tomorrow. i really, really dread one-to-ones, and speech. writing is my forte; speaking sucks. andmay she say yes to random issues 'cos they are really totally random! or i'm dead. 'night!
