Me and my crazy thesis
Gawd. I have such a love-hate relationship with my thesis. Di ko siya matapos-tapos and it's taking its toll on my life.I met with my advisor a month ago regarding my thesis. It turned out I had to reorganize some sections and revise the chapter on my data analysis. She knew I was just dying to get it out of my way but she wants me to do a decent job in finishing it because she believes I can get it published or get a research fellowship with it (*keeping my fingers crossed*).
If only I had enough time--and discipline--to work on it. But no. It's been a month and I'm not yet done with the revisions. Oh Lord...
Now I just found out I may be able to teach in the fall. The program chair penciled me in for a class on Social Problems (bwahahaha, ako ba 'to?). But he just found out I don't officially have my MA yet. If I get it in August, I can teach. If not, I have to wait another semester. So that means I really have to get the final copy of my thesis done..."for one and for all," as Angelica Jones put it. Hehe =)
Pray for me.

halu! kamusta--i happened on your blog from bisayabloggers! grad student pud ko diri--usc-l.a. (geography dept). i am giddy with excitement to see a kindred soul here (nagkumbati pud ko sa akong dissertation diri)! good luck sa imo thesis.
hi sis! salamat kaayo. ikaw sad, gudlak sa imong dissertation. ayo-ayo!
i read a previous entry--waray ka? tatay nako waray pud from samar. i can't speak it although my sister can (she was at VISCA at one point).
excited ko to know naa koy ka-ramay in the adventures & misadventures of being in grad school here! i know a couple of pinoy geographers i met at a meeting-- one is at TX State, the other is at UNC; a good friend is in ASU doing Socio-anthro (both of us were at San Carlos-Cebu), and his brother is doing Music at the same University. i'm sure there are a lot more. hopefully we can all touch base, even if just virtually, and maybe at some point we all get to meet up over cold beer.
kalimot ko pangutana--unsa imo thesis? ako email diay > sister@usc.edu (btw, kasabot ka cebuano no?)
hi sis! yup, Waray ko. both my parents are from Leyte. mas fluent ko sa Waray cos i lived in Tacloban for 5 years tapos balik-balik lang ko kung naa bakasyon.
taga-diin man ka? cebu?
my thesis is about women ex-offenders diri sa Chicago. unta last year pa ko nahuman pero daghan man og red tape diri kun sensitive ang imong research.
kabuang!
yup, kasabot ko ug Cebuano. my Bisaya is pretty barok as you can tell--kasabot ko pero makasulti ko ug gamay lang. when i run out of Bisaya words, I shift to Waray or Tagalog, haha =)
ayo-ayo diha! will e-mail you sometime.
