Week 3 Update

At the end of last week I decided on three goals to help me begin work on my thesis: create an outline, look into formatting, and begin writing. Unfortunately, on Monday morning I woke up with a cold, which took me out for a couple of days. It is now Wednesday and I'm not nearly where I wanted to be for this week. Luckily, I don't have any pressing deadlines to attend to, so no harm done. :) So far this week, I have downloaded the graduate college documentation I need to refer to about formatting my thesis. I've skimmed over this briefly in order to have an idea of the major formatting requirements that are in place. In the next couple of days, I hope to begin creating an outline for my thesis, so that I may start researching and writing next Monday. One of the great things about beginning work on my thesis over the summer is that I don't feel overly pressed for time, which allows me to account for things that might come up (such as this cold) without feeling anxious or guilty about pushing back my personal deadlines.
