Title: Writing a thesis off campus
Post by: Nikki on March 19, 2008, 06:50:15 AM
Hi everyone,
Is there anyone out there writing a thesis off campus?
This is my final semester and I athough my supervisor is great,
this is by far the loneliest of semesters for me. I found that in all my course units
the MUSO discussions etc kept me sane but now...
I find myself discussing all the ideas swimming around in my head with myself,
not at all productive.
I would love to hear from others coping from afar with the thesis, or maybe I really am alone?
Cheers,
Nikki

Hi Nikki

I hope you aren't all on your own, it sounds very isolating.  I thought I would respond to your post because you sounded so lonely, but I am not doing a thesis unfortunately.  I hope someone who is responds to you soon.

Thanks Julie,
It can be a lonely process but those feelings are only on and off.
I am greatly enjoying my study and am usually so excited and involved that I don't pay attention to the isolation. 
Good luck with your work,
Nikki

Hi Nikki
We have a Postgraduate association that may be able to help you get into contact with others doing thesis' at Monash... the Gippsland postraduate President is Mahfuzul and can be contacted at: president.gaps@general.monash.edu.au
The monash postgraduate association is also quite active and would be worth a checkout! http://mpa.monash.edu.au/ or contact the president: tldor1@student.monash.edu.au

The MPA website is a great source of info in regards to thesis that you might find useful also Nikki! Feel free to give me a call if you have more questions. As Julie said, best of luck with your Thesis - I'm still doing my Undergrad but would have loved to chat to you more about it if I was doing my thesis also!!!
