Dissertations Bring on Headaches

Posted By Admin on March 7, 2008 @ 11:28 pm

In January, I had the bright idea to enroll in a night class.  Now, this wasn’t something that was required for work, but rather something that I would do for fun.  It may sound a little sick, but I have always had a passion for learning and I thought that it would be good excuse to get out of my house too.

So, the first few weeks of classes were great.  It took a little while to get back in the grove of studying, but I picked things up quickly.  Things changed a bit when we had to write our first dissertation for an assignment.

It had been years since I had done any thesis writing, and I was worried that I wouldn’t know what to do.  But, I had a guidebook on the format the college wanted for any formal dissertation and I followed it to the letter.

I did come up with a great essay, but I also ended up with a four day long headache.  The same thing happened with the second essay assignment as well.

So, if I decide to take another night class in the future, I might just have to limit myself to a class that doesn’t require much writing - I really don’t care to have a headache.
