Exams-A-Coming

My Thesis on 24 and Terrorism did not work out.

These three metaphors described why:

1. The thesis path was a tunnel with a light at the end. The light was from a coming train. Had to switch tracks while I still could, and continue on my way out.

2. The bridge that I was building could not withstand the arguements I was making.

3. It was like being on an elevator in a falling building.

Style over substance, substance over style, whatever the arguement the eventuality is the same: Get it done and done well.

In the end, it was my decision not to cheapen my thesis.

Having revised the thesis throughout the Spring and Summer, it was a baby that was aborted temporary, not for its looks or its substance but for it to reborn in the future to a more welcoming crowd.

Choosing the path of most resistance, I sharpened my knowledge of terrorism and stood by the synthesization of Tuman's (2003) communication and terrorism but like a genetically superior Kyle XY - the world was not ready, it was fearful.

I could go on but the new challenge calls out - a total of 9 Hours - Written and Oral - to prove my Master's worth.
