\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 At this point, I am well into writing my thesis. \u00a0 I completed chapter one last night and got started on writing chapter two. \u00a0 So far, with the introduction and first chapter I have written twenty-six pages out of what should end up being about an eighty pages or so project.<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 So far that actual writing part has been easier than I thought it would be. \u00a0 I have never written a paper that is as long as this one is and that had me worried at first. \u00a0 What I am finding is that the initial getting started writing each day can be difficult but once I really get into it the problem is not being too wordy. \u00a0 It would be easy to go overboard and write too much. \u00a0 I am trying to keep the paper concise and meaningful; I do not want to fill it up with fluff. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I am pounding out about five pages a day so I am well on track to have my first draft done by the due date in mid-February. \u00a0 I have already submitted my intro to my thesis advisor for comment and when I get that back I will be able to make changes as I write instead of doing extensive revisions later on if they are required. \u00a0 I am trying to write so that my rough draft ends up being not so rough and I only have to make minor style revisions and not major revisions of content. \u00a0 If everything continues to go as it is I am on track to have my thesis done and degree conferred in May.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
