Yella (which is a filler word like well then or alrighty) I'm sitting in studio with only 5 days to go 'till spring break, and predictably I have the attention span of a bar of soap. I spend a lot of time, ok most of my time, inertly staring at my computer screen. Sometimes I'm even less productive, and just stare out my window over the tops of what is a growing mountain of folded paper.
These days I've become a super high-maintenence student. I require more than just hand holding, it's full on therapy when crit time comes around. I get caught in these dangerous circuitous loops of questioning and researching, neither of which translate to drawings very well, and I have a large body of knowledge about things that are seemingly unrelated to my project. This is also known as the wikipedia effect. We each have a finite number of brain cells, and I can't even explain to you just how many have been dedicated to thesis-related thinking.
I'm slowly coming to terms with the idea that my thesis will hardly be a resolution, but more just a representation of a line of questioning I've followed. It's probably not even going to be an accurate representation, given the deliverable is a presentation on "tents" and my education here in Qatar has been MUCH MUCH broader than that (to say the least). I am overwhelmed and inspired simultaneously. We'll see
