I'm done with my senior paper!
Dec. 13th, 2005 08:11 pmI'm finished with my senior thesis!!!!
Five advisor conferences, 32 sources, four major rewrites (one of which I had to do the night Dustin proposed!), and many, many, many hours of work later, I'm done with my senior paper! I'm printing the 31 page document right now. And I will celebrate being complete by returning two books (great sources!) to my advisor, dropping off the paper in her office, and getting a calzone from Mellow Mushroom for dinner.
My thesis statement, for anyone who's interested: The first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary is unreliable and inaccurate in many aspects, including its excessive use of quoting Shakespeare and the Bible, excluding words, sources and authors, and the disorganization of the source materials. The entire paper is all about analyzing the reliability of the OED as a text. It's a really interesting topic for me, but writing a 25-30 page paper on ANY topic can really make the paper the bane of your existance.
