in_steadI love my thesis, I really do. I love my topic and, after two and a half years or so of thinking about it, I still find it very interesting. Which is a blessing in and of itself. My mother told me last year that, by the time I hit where I am now, I would be utterly sick of it all. And I'm not. I learn new things and have new ideas about it daily, which is great.
But today?
I don't feel like thinking or writing anything more about W.T. Stead or General Charles "Chinese" Gordon or the virtues of individual agency or the evils of bureaucracy or the influence of the boys' adventure stories on Stead's representation of the Soudan (Victorian-era spelling) crisis or government by journalism or the indirect power of the press.
Unfortunately, I promised my thesis supervisor chapter two by tomorrow.
So.
Back to work, then.
chapter two word count: 3,608 words, plus however many in the fourteen hand-written pages I have yet to type in. I don't know if any of it makes sense, though. Which, I guess, is why I have a thesis supervisor -- to tell me if I'm writing gibberish.
