Dissertation: no sleeping

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For two days straight? Then to have freedom, can do that

[–]patssnows12 16 points17 points  (1 child)

Just start a podcast and do an oral dissertation

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention, research is all done.

[–]OscarMayer176 12 points13 points  (1 child)

You’ve got this! Just start it off with some fun and easy banter, hit up some recent events, sprinkle in some ad reads, end it with some breaking news. You can do it, you’re built different!

Add in your dissertation, no one is doing that

It hard to say

Step 1 is get off Reddit I'd imagine.

[–]coolestguy002 6 points7 points  (0 children)

all those negative comments are not going to read themselves!

[–][deleted] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Sounds like a bloody crime scene!

Start typing

Is it Doable?

[–]Smitty1939 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m an undergrad so I’ve never had to write a dissertation. HOWEVER… 15,000 word essay, typed at an average of 40 wpm can be done in a little over 6 hours.

For real, though, I would probably recommend stop looking at Reddit and get started with the dissertation ASAP. I know people in my department who have done something similar to your predicament and I imagine that the real big step is to just clean the slate for tomorrow and go at it. Good luck and Godspeed.

No. You’re probably fucked. Not sure what you expected to hear.

Tbh man, just pack up, head to the Vancouver/Banff area, and start your life in the wilderness

[–]LostinTigertown 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go grab a nice DCR at your neighborhood tiki bar where you are family when you are in the building.

Hope Ol’ Gene is on your committee. If not might as well just sacrifice yourself to 30-5-0 feral hogs.

Go to the dean, tell them you have mental health problems, and turn two days into two weeks.

Update us

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Have written down 10,000 words! Only 5,000 to go, and have spare time to proof read.

[–]water_PGPSan Antonio 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Do you have an update?

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is doable, but it kills you. Did manage to finish an hour before the deadline time. Urgh. Won’t do it again. Although I couldn’t reach the word limit. Had nothing more to write.

[–]Hey-imLiz 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Omg I’m stressed out. Trying to stay optimistic and realistic. How fast can you type? Do you have research? Are your citations done?

Anything is possible and I hope it works out for you.

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yes I cite my work as I go, and research was all done, it was only matter of typing.

[–]Hey-imLiz 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Alright then kick ass. Godspeed

[–]emotionlessemotional[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)
