As I write this I have
eighteen word documents opened on my desktop. Eighteen documents that are
filled with dissertation chapters, notes regarding FBI Files, researched
focused on news articles from 1952-65 and countless chapter outlines and random
notes.
Yes, it’s that time of
the year. It’s a time when dissertations need to be written, re-written,
re-re-written, edited and bound. It is also the time of year when exams need to
be revised for and the future needs to be thought about extensively. I guess you
can say that it is pretty busy time of year.
Some days I have
massive freak-outs about not finishing my dissertation on time or not managing
to revise everything I need to revise (my friends can testy for this). Other
days however, I feel as calm(ish) as you like, as though I have everything
under control. But I don’t have
everything under control. Yes, I have my work and revision under control but
the future is anything but controlled. I have no idea what I’ll be doing in
three months time other than the fact that I will not be a student anymore.
