Instead of working on what I'm supposed to be working on, I decided to do some more laundry and see what is going on on my friends blogs. I am not surprised but kinda sad to say that no one from college is still posting in their usual college-era blogs. How am I supposed to keep track of you if you don't blog?!?
I'm not going to mention that this is two in a row...
So I looked up the thesis outline I am supposed to follow and I feel a little better about what I need to do. What the hell is an abstract? Why would you put a summary in the front of your paper? Doesn't that short change the whole purpose? The reader could just as easily read the abstract and my references and get the same idea. Anyone out there write a thesis paper ever? Am I supposed to break it up into chapters? Grrr... Now I am a little frustrated again.
I keep doing things so I don't actually have to focus on what I should focus on. For instance, right now I want to go running. Which is a good thing except that I just want to go running to get thesis out of my head. I'm not going running. I'm going to write three pages today.
Gotta have goals.

The point of an abstract is to give the reader an idea of what your paper is about. There are so many thesis papers out there that having to judge by title alone if this is what you are looking for would be maddening. It just lets us know we're on the right track when we're looking for research. you probably were just venting - no offense intended.
