Tomorrow, my female owner starts a “new lease of life”. She has no other mega commitments except “just thesis”. Telling people she has a “thesis to do” seems to trivialise the enormity of the task ahead.
“So it’s only a thesis for you”
“So just a thesis ah?”
“even though your thesis is big, at least you completed the rest of your coursework”
“you only need to work on your thesis?”
“so what do you have for the rest of the year? Thesis? Just that?”
Come on, it’s not “just”. The thesis is worth 16 credits, which makes 1/3 of her programme. 16 credits is like doing 8 average-sized modules. Her five placements were worth 12 credits altogether. About 40000-50000 words, that’s about eight to ten 5000-word essay.
Yah, just a thesis. Easier said than done.
