Theeeesis -- Or Why Lia is an Overachiever

[thescarletwoman]

I think this entire semester is going to be national write my goddamned thesis month.

It's actually going well. I'm just an over-achiever. Remind me AGAIN why I chose to do this on THREE Sondheim shows?

The current layout:

I- Introduction
II- History of B'way & Sondheim Biography
III & IV - Chapters on Company
V & VI - Chapters on Sweeney Todd
VII & VIII - Chapters on Sunday in the Park with George
IX - Conclusion
X - Appendix

I'm insane. starshine_rain6 -- I think I'm doing more than even Mr Alex. *headdesk* I win. Maybe. Ask me in two months.

Current completion list:
3 chapters; just about to start the 4th.

*POUNCES* I love that I sneak on to take a peek at my email and flist, and your post is at the very top :D

national write my goddamned thesis month. *smirks* Shall I wield the whip and keep you going? *wears stolen domme boots*

GC is coming over in half an hour or so, so of course we're on a cleaning binge right now, as god knows we can't have a visitory without CLEANING EVERY SURFACE. *sighs* Anyway. I, erm, received good news in my inbox. VERY good news. *big freckly smile* Love you, wifey! Talk to you tonight! Don't let your thesis drive you too mad. *smoochity*

*G* I love it. And there's also an email in your inbox from this morning. But I'm sure you've already seen that by now. *snogs*

Don't you USUALLY wield the whip? *coughs* I was going to say, those boots look familiar.

Say hi to the GC for me. *coughs* I STILL say our mothers would get along extraordinarily well. Sounds like mine. And zomg. *dies* *revives and dies again* I... YEEEE. *snogsity*

I feel your pain. *goes back to writing ten page chunk due on Wednesday*

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

Oye. I just wrote 10 pages and I have another chapter due on monday. My advisor wants 2 chapters done a week.

*headdesk*

[neatokates.livejournal.com]

Ah, I don't have to do it in chapters. Last semester I researched and wrote a 12 page prospectus. Now I'm acutally writing...ten pages on Wednesday, rough draft (approx. 50 pages) due at the end of March.

*headdesk to the max* Ain't school grand?

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

yuuuugh. My prospectus was about... 4 or 5 pages I think. Then that got expanded for chapter one. My entire thing (rough draft) is due the beginning of march. Then I get to start revising.

Yes, school is SO grand. I join you with the headdesk.

*coughs* You chose your topic and could have chosen something different but I think secretly you just want to outdo Alex *coughs*

Oh man, those colds going around right now are killers, I'm tellin' ya. ;)

How many pages do you think it will be total (minus the appendix and whatnot)?

[thescarletwoman.livejournal.com]

*would thwap but already did so and doesn't want to get taunted again* Hey, Dr H is already comparing Alex and I -- so... yeah...

*hands over cough syrup* don't want you getting sick... *hides the arsenic it's laced with*

Uh... right now it's at 22 and that doesn't have all the conclusion stuff for chapter 1 and that's just chapters 1-3. I'm doomed, aren't I? *sighs* this is really like a Master's Thesis. *headdesk*

[starshine-rain6.livejournal.com]

Hm... sweet of you to offer, but I think I'll pass on the cough syrup... seems like my cough has gotten much better, imagine that. :P

And you're depriving me of my fun... if I can't taunt you, who can I taunt?

It probably is going to be on the long-ish side for a senior research project (I talked about two symphonies and mine came in at just under 50 pages), but I think you'd have to get up into the hundreds of pages before it's masters length... so at least there's that! So much to look forward to in grad school :P

UGH!! I remember the thesis thingy!!! *feels your pain*

[adaptor.livejournal.com]

Congrats on getting those chapters done! It sounds so interesting, writing on Sondheim. What is your thesis about?

[chenoa-dawn.livejournal.com]

*sigh* I thought I had replied.... BTW, this is FAith... not that I need to tell ya...

Good luck on the thesis... You and Kerry are doing a really good job at reminding me why I never made it to college. LOL...

Hope you do well on it... (btw, this is my drabble journal... beware... my Chenoa and Kodia muse is at play again.)
