I had a growing concern with my senior thesis. Enough concern that I think my entire historiography class will fail unless I separate myself from the herd and get things done on my own. Wednesday night we had a class wide confessional in front of our teacher, telling him what we've accomplished so far in the way of getting our thesis complete. It seemed like the only thing people were doing was changing their topic over and over. I leaned over to ask a fellow pupil what he had done and we both said the same thing: Nothing. The semester is halfway finished and no one has done anything!!
I moved into high gear and met with one of my professors. We talked about ideas, and sources for my paper. Armed with that information I ran to the library to mine for some books and came away with 2 or 3 that might be useful. I'm in reading mode right now. That should get me closer to nailing this paper by early December. I'm keeping track of everything with my thesis blog (which is actually an assignment).
