it's been three days after my thesis pre-orals, and i am B-O-R-E-D.

darn it. i don't have the energy just yet to work on the revisions that the panel has suggested (although i'm not running out on energy 'cause i've been eating a lot in the past few days... grr).

among the revisions include:
1. a reorganization of my thesis' structure based on the institution's prescribed format;
2. an inclusion of a "specific question" which the panel omitted before. i actually found it amusing to see the panel correct itself;
3. a more concise, more brief style of writing (the panel has suggested that i get a research grammarian; my adviser thought otherwise. i will just consult other graduate thesis for syntax);
4. an introduction of a development theory as springboard of the study (probably the keanesian theory of modernization); and,
5. a revision of certain statistic, and the simplification of my table presentation.

grr. i don't know when i'll get back the drive to start on it. i better get it back fast. my finals are set december 16 or 17. haay.

still here. i think.
