This post is dedicated to all the researchers in the world!.. I would not wish to touch about the tedious experimenting or the researching areas but… when it all comes to the sitting down and compilation of all that thesis work.
I am a worrier by nature, so I have been told.. Ok granted!.. but I like to be prepared a bit and I hate last minute surprises.. and would really like to have some contingency plans to deal with those kind of situations.
The most important part in any research is the literature review, I would recommend everyone to do their homework and background study well in advance. Following my own advice I embarked upon this herculean task! .. last December.. the day was 25th.. I was all alone.. no roommates.. no phone calls.. no nothing.. blissful peace at last.. and that is when I sort of made myself stick to this carpet for 2 weeks.. and spread all my research paraphernalia all over the place and was able to build up this rough draft for the literature review.. I was miserable, indeed… instead of being in Niagara falls or Las Vegas or Disney world.. I was in a self imposed Jail… enjoying non stop inflow of caffeine and plagiarizing away the stuff and then rephrasing it..
.. I am so glad I did it then… now I just have to modify and build up on the skeleton… as need arises.. and make few additions..
As a helpful note to typing the references.. try using endnote software.. it solves a major chunk of the reference typing pain.. and takes care of the format as well.
BTW.. I am supposed to use Latex to prepare my manuscript… which is gonna be one more task.. but being comfortable with word.. I plan to get things sorted out in word and then plan to ccp it.
I feel like eating a cookie.. it’s almost 4 am.. why am I awake??.. I am going to start reading the MWSHFerrari!!.. Now.. till I drop..
Catch ya later..
