Yesterday, I have learned that we need to submit our proposal very very soon. Our proposal defense will be last week of November. That means I only have less than a month to finish my Chapters 1, 2 and 3! (Oh my!) I felt a sudden adrenaline rush because I have not yet done anything as of now aside from the thesis title. (By the way my thesis title is “Preparedness of Philippine Open Universities in Offering PhD in Communication Education.)

But yesterday, I was too lazy. (Justification: I am working very hard since Wednesday, including weekends and even beyond office hours. I think I deserve that break. Haha!) I did not dwell into that sudden adrenaline rush, instead, I what I did is I conditioned my mind that I will start doing it now and will finish Chapter 1 in 3 days. Good luck to me!

Thanks to the 3 links that my dear friend Adette sent to me. It surely helped me. Aside from the contents of the link, it also helped me condition my mind and started opening Microsoft Word, typed my thesis title, and continued.

Oh well, at this point, I realized that I am pushing myself very hard. Considering a unique topic is hard already, but considering a sample that includes the whole Philippines might be torturing myself very much. So I decided to limit it. I added “Polytechnic University of the” to the title. Now, it’s “Preparedness of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines- Open University in Offering PhD in Communication Education”.

That sounds a little relief. Reviewing my accomplishments tonight, I am finished writing my objectives/ problems after reading some RRL. Introduction and Background is drafted. I found a good theory and scribbled my framework. Significance and definition is outlined. I guess that makes my Chapter 1 around 35% complete already.

Note: Hayaan nyo na ako sa ilusyon ko please, this motivates me. Haha! Writing during Undas, right after going back from the Cemetery. Haha!

***Gees! Creative writing through a blog after academic writing is a good therapy. :)
