Those of you who know me personally are aware of the fact
that I am working on my Master’s Thesis. Although, stating it in that manner is
putting it in a polite and flattering light, which those who are in the midst
of completing their thesis or have already done so know that is not the truth.
Last year I viewed those working on their thesis as people who had
procrastinated and did not fully comprehend what all it took to complete, but
all of those sentiments have changed drastically this school year. It has come
to my attention that the word thesis is and can be used as a noun, verb, and an
adjective to describe every aspect of my life. When people ask what I am doing,
inevitably, the answer is working on my thesis or it can be pared down, due to
time constraints as thesising. Therefore, there is a noun and verb form!
Lately, I have also encountered that it can be used as an adjective to describe
how others and I are in a state of physical and mental wellbeing, but once
again … Can anyone be “well” while writing a thesis?
The point of all this … well, there is not a real point but
simply a musing and an excuse to take a break from writing my memoir. A break
from my thesis, a break from thesising, and an attempt to not become thesised,
Good luck to all my fellow comrades who are burying themselves
in piles of books; going cross-eyed staring at their laptops; and neglecting
the most basic human needs of hygiene, food, and sleep. It will be over soon enough!
