I can officially move in tomorrow at 11am. I'm working as a Storage Monitor in Kirkland tomorrow and Saturday, so I get to move in my stuff earlier-ish.
Move-in has sneaked up on me and I'm not sure I like that. I want more time at home to be lazy and hang out with my mother. Where did that time go? Since when do I have to go and be a senior?
Oof.
Well, like it or not, I have to go do the senior thing pretty soon, so we'll see how that goes. I've also dived back into the thesis pool or jumped back on board the train or whatever and started thinking about my thesis again. I'm reading Writing Your Dissertation in Fifteen Minutes a Day, which tells you to write at least fifteen minutes each day on your thesis. Now I don't really have a thesis to write, only ideas, but Joan Bolker, Ph.D. has a suggestion for that too. She says just write a journal of your thoughts and ideas about your thesis for fifteen minutes each day, and as you research and you meet with your advisor and you have a more concrete idea of what the thesis will actually be, then your journal will start to be more like small attempts at paragraphs and outlines. I like this idea. So instead of making it an exercise I save on my hard drive and can cheat on, I'm making it a blog. Then it will be very clear if I am not writing something every day. And my friends can yell at me for it. So it's Olivia's Thesis Blog, you can find it at http://thesisredefined.blogspot.com
Enjoy. Oof. Again.
