Thesis pieces

This masters has become a canker in my life. Obviously, there is a lot of other stuff going on that irritates me as well, but lately I'm desperate to wrap this up and get on with my life.

"On with my life". Now what does that mean? Having discovered that research work and thesis writing sucks ass and makes me miserable, what to do now? In a way, I'm almost grateful to my supervisor for pointing out how much I'm hating this. I love learning, that much is true. I love classes and seminars and discussions and conferences. I even love writing essays. But months of solo research with minimal interaction is simply not working out. And what is a PhD but years and years of the same?

Stream of consciousness interrupted. To be continued...
