Once again I have proved to myself that I am awesome at writing bullshit academic papers...
Today when I came back from a deadly boring lecture I thought I'd check my school schedule for this month and found a surprise. I had a reseach proposal due today! /0\ It's not anything super complicated, I mean the reseach paper only needs to be about 30 pages and the proposal was supposed to be five pages, but still... I had nothing done. So I panicked for a bit and then started writing. And now four hours later I'm finished and ended up with six pages (because I forgot to add some space between lines so when I edited the finished thing I got an extra page. \0/) Muah ha haaa~ *evil laugh is evil*
In other academic news, I still have no idea what I'm going to do with my master's thesis. =/ Well I finally gathered the courage and sent an e-mail to my advicer today telling her about it, so hopefully she will be able to tell me what I should do... Argh.

(Ehdotan koska tein tutkimussuunnitelman yhdelle sukupuolentutkimuksen kurssille ja aiheena oli "valkoisuus, valkoiset tilat ja niiden tuottaminen viktoriaanisen ajan naisten matkakertomuksissa" ja tätien kiertomukset vaikutti aika jänniltä.)

Date: 2012-03-06 06:37 pm (UTC)Saattaa olla että on aika tutkittu aihe, mutta ehkä vois löytää jonkun uuden näkökannan tai jotain. :/ Mä siis tein sen parityönä ja mun pari (hissanlukija) oli vastuussa aineistosta mutta nou hätä, onneksi on lähdeluettelo! :D

Toivottavasti näistä olisi jostain apua, tiiän kokemuksesta että ilman graduaihetta on aika kamalaa. Tosin onko mulla nyt sitten yhtään helpompaa, kun pitäis kirjoittaa koko ajan... x)
