oyceter... but I'm stuck inside writing. Hrm. I'm sure everyone who reads this thing is very sick already of thesis talk. Next chapter, I'm going to make sure to start waaay ahead of time (i.e. on Tuesday) so that while I'll still have to write, it won't be in ten hour blocks of time.
I got my intro back with corrections from my advisor, and thank everything that can be thanked, it looks ok. Sure, there's some restructuring, plus a new paragraph at the top saying why I'm writing this thesis, but most of the comments are little syntax changes or sentence flow. I'm not sure if this is because my intro is actually ok or because she doesn't really know enough about anime and manga to really deeply critique it. For what it's worth, she says I write well! ^_^ This makes me happy... I've just been thinking that through college my writing quality has really declined because all I do is churn out papers without really focusing on the writing itself anymore.
It really is a beautiful day outside though. These are the few weeks in which New Jersey is not only tolerable, but actually pleasant to live in. Everything smells kind of green and wet and muddy, so fresh, especially when compared to the biting winter frost. I like being able to smell the change in seasons. The snow everywhere is melting, people are walking around and playing frisbee, and hopefully they'll plant the flowers in the garden soon.
And yet, I'm stuck inside here writing. *sigh*
