yes...no....yes...no.....ummm yes.....no?

last week friday i met with my dissertation supervisor to discuss my lit review (what i thought was a pretty clear/good lit review, anyways). it ended up him saying it was all over the place and i needed to reign it in and redo it....not all of it, but still to restructure it and make it more approachable to my overall topic. luckily, he had written out a structure form for me to follow, which was helpful so that i didnt have to rack my brain for different ways to structure my paper and search desperately for a bunch of new sources.....

So it made me question whether or not i should cancel my trip to Rome, since my degree comes first. so this week, ive been working ferociously to try and get this new lit review written in proper form and have it readable for my supervisor. its kind of down to the wire now, since its Thursday, he wants it before i leave which is monday morning............. so we'll see.

however, since i dont think i can get a refund for my air tickets....i might as well go. today, i kind of have the feelign that i can get it done in time. if i keep working allllllllllllll day today and most of tomorrow (since ill take some of Friday off, cuz its kind of special to me ;) i hope that God will sprinkle some 'thinking power' onto my brain and i can whiz past all this research stuff!!

so, thats about it for me. i am startign to get some sun on my skin, which is nice not to be pasty anymore!! lets hope Italy is full of hot weather and sun too!!

later gaters :)

How long is this dissertation? It sounds miserable. Wouldn't it be nice if you could just travel the world completely care free without school/homework/papers?

So are you going to officially have your masters after this is over, or is there another year?
