As I write this I am just finishing a cigarette. Nothing strange about that,right?
Wrong, considering I didn't smoke up until a week ago. I'm putting it down to the stress of my FYP or thesis. Whichever you prefer to call it.
And I am stressed. Normally I'm a happy-go-lucky kind of guy but these days I'm feeling less of the Happy and alot less of the lucky. My thesis is due in two and a half weeks and I'm halfway through it.
More than enough time some would say, hell, I'm one of them. I know where I want to go with this thing but on the chapter I'm currently workig on I keep hitting writer's blocks. Strange for a blogger.
Somehow I've managed to convince myself that it's solely down to not having the chapter formatted correctly. Unforunately, this is yet to solve my problem. I must have reformatted the thing three or four times now and I keep hitting blocks. So, what could possibly be my resolution?
I have decided to move away from it for a while. I want to work on my introductory chapter and theoretical perspective chapters over the next few days and come back to the troublesome one at a later date. Hopefully then I'll have a new perspective to work from. Well, maybe not a new perspective. That would insinuate that I was going to start from scratch which I sure as hell am not going to do. I've worked too long and too hard on that thing to just throw it away.
Then after that all that needs to be done is my conclusion. Even at this point I feel as though I know what I'm going to do with that. I think I can get to grips with whats wrong with my research to date and more importantly, whats right with it.
Now, Some might say that this blog post is merely a senseless rambling. I assure you it is not. This is me Venting my frustration, my anxiety, my stress.
huh, I guess the cigarettes are working.
