sinnamon's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- boring thesis shit Writing a thesis has got to be one of the most depressing things in a college career. First, you put hours and hours of time into reading, researching, and writing only to sit in your advisor's office for 20 minutes and have her shred your carefully crafted work into pieces with her little pencil and/or red pen. Secondly, and this may only pertain to my thesis or those similiar to mine, is the fact that I have to analyze things that are very sensitive issues. Like the memorials built to the atrocities of World War II and see how they have been distorted or censored by the government of that country. It's depressing to see that nothing's really sacred to someone's (or in this case, some country's) agenda. As a person that would like to have some kind of faith in humanity, for me it's difficult to deal with the atrocities themselves (although I am starting to become immune to the photographs of dead bodies) and then see the distortion behind the retelling of that atrocity all for the sake of "never letting that happen again" but in some ways is really all about taking the piss out of the victimizers. And, it seems no country is exempt from this little reworking of details and/or censorship. Anyway, that's my bitching for the day. Enjoy. :) 10:56 AM - 011604 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
