I've been talking about it since the summer: the dreaded thesis. It seems like it's been looming over me since my freshman year when I decided to join the Honors Program. Why did I do that again? Oh yeah, priority registration.
Until this fall, it never seemed like it would actually happen. Oh yeah, my thesis. I'll get to it eventually.
Right?
Well. Sort of.
Fall quarter I tried to start. And then life (read as: school/work/extracurriculars/Netflix) got in the way. I kept saying, I need to start my thesis. I need to read something. I need to do something.
That thought usually ended in me frantically looking up sources but not actually reading any of them before giving up and going to bed at 10:30 like the college senior (citizen) that I am.
But then, over winter break, I really had no excuse not to do any reading, at the very least. So I did do some reading, and some annotating, and I started to feel like I was making some progress.
When winter quarter started, I was motivated to keep the momentum going and do at least a little bit of work every day. Sadly, that did not last long. This week, I intended to read the remaining sources I've gathered, annotate them, and begin writing the section on objectivity as a professional standard for my literature review. I did get a little writing done, but unfortunately the reading definitely did not happen.
Maybe next week I'll write something that actually pertains to the research, but as of right now I'm just slightly too overwhelmed. And so, since I still haven't quite stopped slacking off, here's the annotated bibliography of the sources I read over break:
