Hi everyone,

Sorry, this post may sound completely abnormal but I just needed to vent my frustrations on the writing part of the thesis.

As I sat down to write my thesis for the upcoming deadline 2 weeks ago, I just didn’t realize how time consuming it could be. First, I guess I should clarify that while I have been working on and off the thesis since semester started, the past couple of weeks has really been the period that I have done some what I consider my REAL, concrete work. But now that I am in the midst of writing the paper (even as I write this post) I think I have seriously underestimated the time it takes to write the paper. I should have been forewarned by the book we have been using in class but for some reason I just did not see it coming. I have been promising myself that I’ll be done with a certain section of my paper for the past 2-3 days and guess what? I am still working on that same section, not because I did not work on it for the past couple of days but because there is just SO much information I have collected. I did not notice how much data I had piled on the various segments of the paper. I suppose I should be grateful that I have all this great information, which I am but its making writing the paper very difficult. Right now I have such a jumbled mess inside my brain. I know the points I need to make but just writing it all down on paper/computer is taking forever and I am getting very impatient and frustrated. All these different sub-topics are pulling me in different directions while I hasten to get all my ideas down before I lose track of them in my mind. This process is making me want to scream in frustration!!!!! 

I think I should stop there and get back to the paper.

By the way, good luck with your drafts!

Thanks-

Nandini
