The truth shall set you free--dissertation style.

It's 1246am and I just got back from Bible study. I enjoyed myself.  I wanted to finish up a little bit of work so I could sleep well and accidentally not go to the gym in the morning and enjoy the sunrays on my legs instead.  So I send of a strong draft of my Chapter 1 or my Introduction section--apparently the intro is one of the last sections you write..apparently academicians don't count. My drafts have gone Chapter 2 (literature review), 3 (methods), 4 (analysis), 1 (intro) and THEN 5 (findings, recommendations, conclusion)..

Right before bed, I read up on a GREAT article on formatting and order of a dissertation from University of Arkansas--Little Rock (for those who care) and they had this quote:


Chapter 5 is often the weakest one in the first draft of the completed dissertation. Students often are exhausted from the prior work and are rushing to finish Chapter 5 by a deadline.

All I could say was, "Man, if that AIN'T the truth!"

Gotta press through..

Almost there!

April 19ish.

I can do this!

Good night.
