I have been procrastinating so much on this paper. I am enjoying Europe so much and I'm having the time of my life so my main focus has not been on my paper. This is going to change since all my friends will be working the next week and I will be in a foreign country alone where I don't speak the language. I now have my priorities in order and will be spending the next month focusing on the paper. If anyone has some tips to get me to stop procrastinating though please let me know. I will be honest in saying I have made minimal effort on my paper this far but please check back next week.
In this blog the AU Global Scholars document their efforts in applying rigorous research methods to their projects in the field of international studies. The aim is to briefly present a challenge that they encountered AND the solution they came up with, such that their peers can respond and/or learn.
Girl, I am checking back in with you. A good way to stop procrastinating is to make friends hold you accountable. I couldn't focus on my essay in Europe either, but we just got to keep working on it so that we are satisfied with our finished products in about a week from today. So, have you uncovered any new bits of information that could hinder or help the results of your research? Have you had an easy time getting everything you want to say out on paper? As of now, I have a thick Works Cited page with not nearly enough extracted from my sources. I want everything to sound smooth and nice and formal, like in scholarly journals that I have read from, but it seems easier said than done. At this point, time is a heavy factor, so I think I will start to just focus on the content of the research and keeping with a sound argument, and less on the formal tone, at least, for right now. You got this Olivia! Don't watch Netflix and you will be fine!
