Day 3 - Psychological!

Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina
Writing my Master's thesis was one of the most exhausting experiences of my life. It seems to me that it is a little bit like taking care of a newborn. During the day it consumes most of your attention and during the night it occasionally wakes you up with its cries: "20 days left", "19 days left", "did you advisor read your thesis yet?". Except in this case you cannot give the baby to grandparents for the weekend and get a bit of a rest. I believe that there are very few pieces of research that are truly worthy of thorough 100 page examination and my research was definitely not among them. I guess should I come up with something that's actually good in the future this experience will come in handy, but while doing it, I was forced to work on something that I did not believe was necessary and therefore it took 3 times longer than it would have if I was excited about writing my thesis.
