		<description><![CDATA[My first final deadline for graduate school applications is the 1st of December - and my thesis chapter is not finished.  Oops.  After revising outlines and reviewing notes, I think I&#8217;ve managed to destroy several sections of the first copy.  I have a much clearer idea of how I&#8217;m arguing certain points, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s been rather topsy-turvy.  I&#8217;ve reached the Panic Stage in my senior year which entails much worrying about life after graduation.  All my future plans rest on being accepted to one specific PhD program way out in Vancouver, with the minor hope of being awarded an NSF Graduate Fellowship.  I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m fairly satisfied with the organization of my chapter thus far, which is good since that is what I needed to work on last week.  However, the chapter still has a long way to go in terms of prose (which is apparently lacking in style, in spite of my good writing ability) and focus. [...]]]></description>

Moving on, I got back comments from one of the people who agreed to read my thesis chapter.  Organization problems are rampant, but should be easy to fix.  The trouble I had with this section was that I need to make it accessible to a political science audience [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week&#8217;s progress was definitely hampered by the excitement of a softball tournament all the way down in Wilmington, NC.  Barring the six-hour drive (turned to seven by a dinner break) and wanting to play ball, it rained so much on Saturday that we could play no more than one, sopping wet game.  [[Btw, we [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, I made a decent amount of progress on last week&#8217;s goals even though I can&#8217;t cross them out as completed.  First, I discovered that I could draw out a lot of interview data from handwritten notes, isolating less than four hours of recordings to listen to rather than eight.  There&#8217;s a long car ride [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a few good chats this week that made the organization of my thesis quite clear, at least to me.  I think I even explained it well to a professor.
So, two things are obvious to me now.  First, there are gaps in my research.  I do not know much  about [...]]]></description>

Needless to say I got very little done on my thesis project.  Luckily, I have a literature review due tomorrow for poli. sci. research methods that forces me [...]]]></description>
