I'm doing my thesis proposal for my Master's degree in English Language and Literature Teaching in the Ateneo de Manila University. Here are some thoughts from this amateur thesis writer:
1. Don't be intimidated by the big words. Other writers just use them to impress and daunt you.
2. When you feel like taking a nap instead of writing and researching, write and research first, then go to bed later--who needs that nap anyway? Or better yet, work as far away from the bed as you can...
3. Do what works best for you. If it's old school note cards and photocopying many pages at the library, go for it! And thank God for Google!
4. Sugar and caffeine are your friends.
5. Connect with friends and family, and ask them for your help.
6. When you hit a wall, pray, open a book, and scream. Maybe in that order.
7. Having a notebook for random notes works. That way not much else gets lost.
8. Play hard, work hard. Manicure and pedicure, see you tomorrow!
