Under pressure
I’m counting weeks until my graduation, yet I haven’t started writing my paper yet. University graduation means passing a comprehensive exam from several subjects, and presenting an individual research paper — theory and case study, about 50 pages long. The subject I have chosen is the management of electronic documents, forms and signatures. Pretty interesting stuff, but very little used here.
I’m in no mood to get it started. I’ve done some research on it, and everything seems simple and straightforward. But then, I’m supposed to have references and theoretical papers. Where in the world will I find abstract papers on such a practical subject? It will also touch subjects like cryptography and law, even that it’s a paper focusing on management.
To top this, even that the graduation paper is probably the most important thing in the four years of undergraduate studies, it is pushed aside by the abnormal level of work for classes. Every subject has at least two or three major assignments this semester, which we didn’t know of until a couple of weeks ago. I only hope that somehow I’ll manage to get through all this and finally graduate!
Anyway, I’m on vacation next week (Easter holiday) and I’d better roll up my sleeves and get some work done. Don’t expect much activity here for the next two months or so, I’ll be focusing my energy and keystrokes for assignments and other stuff.
Happy Easter.
