I have successfully sent out a four page introduction for my thesis to Thesis Chair for his review. I spent quite a bit of time today tweaking the structure and content. While it is still pretty rough it has successfully broken the ice on the paper portion of my thesis and flooded my brain with ideas for the body of the document. I just hope Thesis ( Read more... )

I got two pages written this afternoon! I know, it's not much, but it got the ball rolling again. The pages I have are solid for a first draft and they represent a good introduction to my project. Plus, I have an idea about what I will begin writing tomorrow. I plan to return to the Burke dungeon tomorrow morning to finish off my assigned portion ( Read more... )

I haven't been able to work on my thesis for the past two weeks. I have been bogged down focusing on other classwork that I really don't care about. Of course, now that it is time to work on my thesis once again, I fell like I am trying to get an elephant with no legs to get up and dance. Thesis Chair asked me to get a three page introductory ( Read more... )

On the ride down, I drafted some interview questions for my thesis, which I can present to the human subjects division to show them I'm not planning on defaming the ( Read more... )

I spent the afternoon working on my thesis and managed to hammer out a respectable draft for the first section of my exhibit script! There is something incredibly satisfying about compiling my various notes into actual labels within an Excel spreadsheet. I am starting to be able to visualize the physical layout of the text panels and the exhibit ( Read more... )

I made the best of my unplanned day off and actually made some initial headway on my thesis design. I received a positive response to my exhibit bubble diagram from one of my committee members, though I still haven't heard back from the other two.

This afternoon, I went to see Pan's Labyrinth at the Harvard Exit. The movie was dark and gruesome and ( Read more... )

I have met my first thesis design deadline with two days to spare. Last Monday, Benny, Erin, Ginger and I gathered to perform a brain dump for my thesis with the ultimate goal of creating a basic flowchart for my exhibit. After the session, I sat down with Ginger and roughed out the necessary deadlines if I am to finish my exhibit proposal binder ( Read more... )
