It's Almost Time

Is it almost… time?

Thanksgiving is approaching, finals are approaching, and yet that's not what I am concerned with.

It is a Saturday night, yes I am spending it at the library, and I am writing an essay for Monday. (This is part of my academic writing process – I like to have my time and it's been a busy week- don’t judge.) I’m barely into what I feel is the meat of the argument, and as it is right now, I’m about 100 words away from the suggested word limit. I have so much more that I want to say! There is so much more that could be said in this essay! How can I bring myself to pare it all down and make it say what I want?

As it is right now,right in this moment, I feel like I am really getting ready for thesis. I'm almost getting excited to write it, though I still have no idea what it's going to be about. Being in Scotland and studying Scottish literature has given me a few good ideas and directions, but we'll see what this coming semester has. 

Come next Fall, bring on all 80+ pages of thesis.
