Working on a Dissertation II

Its weird when one things takes over your entire consciousness. I have been working on the fourth chapter of my thesis, and except for sleep, I think about the damn thing almost constantly.

When I wake up, I start taking notes, reading or just typing. By this point, the rush to finish is simply too much. Part of it is simply life pressure. Jobs are emerging, friends are finishing and I have come to the conclusion that it is time to move on.

So this is the second of a more regular update about writing this thing. I imagine that any major project brings the same level of anxiety, be it writing a novel, doing a major project at work, or preparing for a major audition. I certainly wouldn’t pretend to think that this situation is somehow unique.

But in order to break the monotony a bit, I hope to provide a little light into the alienation, stress, and (yes) sometimes happiness of this whole thing.

How about a little peak? The title: Labour Policy in Ontario. How exciting does that sound??

More to come…

Post Script:

Last week Al in the City and I saw CJ do her comedy stand-up at a small comedy club. She was awesome. It was incredibly fun. Congratulations CJ….

Thanks, Chuck! :)

And I can't imagine that preparing for any audition would be as long and arduous a process as your dissertation!

Good luck, I hope things are going as smoothly as possible.
