Library Mouse
I couldn't help but add this self-portrait because I feel like this is probably what I will look like for the next two years. Today I had a meeting with my professor regarding my thesis idea. I went in anxious because I felt like I was having trouble articulating the problem that I wanted to research. I had my idea, I just couldn't quite see how I could research it. The good news is I left excited. He was really able to help me focus in my idea and pick a lens through which to view and structure my research.
Because I was still feeling pretty excited about the direction of research I decided to go down a couple of floors to the library and check out some past thesis ideas that were similar to my topic. As I'm sitting in the middle of the aisle reading a past grad's thesis, flipping through the pages, and thinking about all of the work that went into it, I realized that in a couple of years, I'll be able to flip through the pages of my own research and think the same exact thing. My hope now is that when I'm at that point, the research I will have done will help someone and will have made a difference.
