AAAAAAArrrggghh!!
Monday, May 7, 2007

The deadline for this dissertation/thesis, or whatever the correct english word is, is approaching with horrifying speed. I don't seem to be able to consentrate (hence me writing this instead of wahat I ought to write) and my head is filled with incredibly creative ideas about everything that is not what I am supposed to do. To add to the stress level, one other occupant of this room I have a desk in, seems to have no problem what so ever with consentration and academic creativity. I am also torn between feelings of joy, because I'm soon finished with this wretchet piece of academic blabbering and real horror of soon not beeing a student anymore. The thought of having to get a "real job" is terrifying, the life as a student is so comfortable and familiar, I am not a big fan of change.
Tomorrow I once again have to face my advicor and show him some new and some improved pages. I want to press fast foreward, get a clone to do this for me or get any other sci fi solution for this...

Well... now that is out of my system... back to trying to be smart.

Good luck sweetheart! I also suffered from some serious lack of interest in school during my final weeks, and there's no time quite as bad as the night before showing your adviser what you've worked on.

I hope it went well though, and you're definitely not alone in panicking – a bunch of my friends who finished their degrees a few years ago are still suffering from what I like to call "Real World Paralysis." :) But somehow everyone makes it through, and you will too!

Definitely making me glad I don't have to do a theis/diseration/honours project to graduate, Constance;)

Still...I know what it feels like to be way behind on a major project AND to be completely sick and tired of the whole business called "higher education"...but afraid of going out into the real world.

Remember...I pulling for ya. We're all in this together, one way or another;D

I know what you mean. my dissertation is due in next week and although I want it finished I am terrified of the prospect of no longer being a student.

Plus I'm avoiding my supervisor because she annoys me.

Good luck though.

Ah this feeling is familiar. It's really hard to push out of the happy nest. Just concentrate on the final twigs and know that you will build a new happy nest soon:) Hugs and hang in there sweety!
