#dissertation shenanigans

Manipulating my dissertation plan so I can use hellblazer as a credible source is so mental illness of me

The more responses I read the more I feel like half of what I’m doing atm is translating internet-speak. Like, if I was someone who didn’t already have a nuanced idea of what these terms and things associated with them meant there is no way I would have understood like 50% of the responses. 

I know “it’s a Thing (tm)” means code 3 (subdefinition that differs from the main definition), I know “makes it ~special snowflake~” means code 2 (mockery of cutesy typing styles), but jeez u guys.

An update on my survey data: the number of people that thought “tfw” means “the fuck what”

I FINISHED!!!!!!! goodbye dissertation if i never see you again it’ll be too soon

[aljdkskjx]

okay i have 2 hours to write my overall conclusion (1000 words) my abstract (200 words) and add a little transition bit to my first chapter

[aljdkskjx]

i’m so fucking close to being done i’m gonna scream. *hopefully* i can finish all the writing by 9am (it’s currently 6:20am)

[aljdkskjx]

i’m gonna ref what i’ve got for ch 3 first bc i’m kind of on a roll with my refs and i just want to get them done. then i’ll write and make any other edits/cut shit out

things are going so well like i’m genuinely surprised. i’ve done my intro, and all my references for ch 1 + 2. now i just have to add the finishing touches to ch 3, do my refs for it, and then do my conclusion. then do my bibliography and a few other little bits here and there but like this is so doable. i’m so shocked actually. like it’s not even 5am yet. i still have 7 hours!!!
