Today I met with my thesis advisor...
She wants me to have my introduction and methods for my thesis done by February 3rd! That is 3 WEEKS away! (She wants me to have a super early start...yeah like 6 months early!)
I guess this isn't as big of a deal as it could be because I'm replicating a study I created during undergrad so I already have the basics written...but the intro in that paper is 2 pages. This needs to include at least 15 sources and will take me much longer to write! This is serious. My masters thesis intro has to be written in 3 weeks and I've barely done any background research or lit searches.
I was sooo anxious about it driving all the way home tonight, but then I got home, reviewed the articles I have so far, emailed a professor from GVSU for permission to use their questionnaire in my thesis, and also did some reading for one of my classes.
I KNOW I can do this. It's going to take a lot of work. I'm planning on waking up earlier every day and using my time a lot more wisely....I waste ridiculous amounts of time....
But I can do this. And I'm excited because this is MY thesis. It feels so good to be doing something I've been looking forward to forever. It's very empowering.
In other news, I don't know if I'm going to Tallahassee this weekend, but if not then I'm taking a day trip to Orlando or something.
I am so determined to enjoy life lately.
