I know I have been talking about my thesis a lot, but it's kind of important to me personally and to my college career. I am a little bit under halfway done with it now, I have to write the neuroscience chapter and then the bipolar experience chapter and then it's just the conclusion and I will be done. Tomorrow we have peer editing again, so I really need to write at least a couple more pages tonight. The problem is that I still don't really understand the neuroscience, so anything I say will just be me regurgitating facts without being able to synthesize the information.
On the bright side, I had Dr. Blowers check my research, and he said that the articles I found are very good and I'm highlighting all the relevant information. So I'm on the right track, at least. And he let me borrow a really cool book about the brain, so I really want to do as much of the neuroscience this weekend as I can so I can get his book back to him.
The down side is, I have basically one friend in the psych department, so as much as I would like to get my friends' opinions on my thesis, I can't very well hand my chapter on neuroscience to a bunch of history majors and expect them to be able to criticize it. Although I will probably make them read it to test how understandable it is to lay people, because I don't want my thesis to only be understandable to psych people.
...why are so many of my friends history majors? and English majors? Probably because this is a liberal arts school.
