Light at the End of the Tunnel

It is getting down to the final stretch and I am starting to have a better picture of how my final paper is going to look. The hardest thing to accomplish at this point in the game is just making myself sit down to write and figuring out where everything needs to go. I've been struggling with trying to place all the parts of my research into the right area but also making everything fluid. I feel relatively confident in the data I have collected (and am still collecting) but its really just making a pages of notes flow into a coherent research paper. I've found that it is helpful to read other research papers, especially from Clocks and Clouds, so I get a better understanding of how to compose the data collection, analysis, and conclusion portion of the paper. It has been helpful to be reading undergraduate papers, instead of papers from the top scholars in IR, because it is more encouraging to say the least. Now I just have to dedicate time every day to work on the paper and in less than a month it will be done!
