Thesis Fridays and the Saturday After
Promised myself to update my blog today. After all I do have the time, and I need to write more. I feel I’m cheating by not writing. Even if it’s a small paragraph. I have to get my writing going.
While I managed to add a few more pages to my thesis, and update my works cited page, there is still a lot more to do. I feel the need to hide myself away from the world and get things done. Zero disturbances and then I can make the best of this situation. I’m finding that in order to write I need to be away from others. This writer must forego all the social aspects of life to get things in order. I really need to edit what’s on the table.
I also did some research today, which meant reading more, which was good for the project. Getting more information helps me to focus the topic a lot stronger. At this moment I think I’m near the topic, but not feeling like my thesis topic has weight to it yet. I did jot down more notes and I am curious as to how things will shape up.
Thesis Fridays
I decided that before I go any further with pages I needed to narrow my focus much more significant;y than I did before. That meant addressing all the questions I’m supposed to ask during the preliminary research phase, which I did, but never clarified. This means I need to address the proposal stage of writing the research paper.
Needless to say I went to the computer lab and forgot my notebook, which had all my current ideas written down. That is what I get for not packing the night before. I still had several notes and info with me so I worked from there, and managed to bounce some ideas off of a friend since we meet up on Fridays.
What would be a simple page of information turned into two pages of me doing some fact finding and looking up some sources. Luckily I kept my Key Concepts book with me. Mind you the notes I took form this book were still at home. They had to be redone. So now I have a more clarified paper and can narrow my thoughts and research. \We call that scope and methodology.
So the revised proposal got a cooling off period while I played Dragon Age 2, and today I will look over my notes to see if anything can add to what’s been written. I have to watch t least one of the films in the paper, and take notes on it. Maybe today. No big plans outside of enjoying this day.
