LAST SAY

Since my supervisor said that the earliest that she could give back our drafts is by Monday, so I decided to progress with the research paper without waiting for her. I did the editing for my paper by adding more details that I think appropriate and deleting those which are unrelated with the focus of my paper. So far, it has been a nightmare but I would not let that deter my spirit. This is probably the worse experience ever when it comes to negotiating with a lecturer. Nonetheless, I am not one who judges so I think I’ll just forgive and forget. And also to say thanks for all her help before. Hopefully, she will ‘read’ my paper and grade it professionally. I just hope that whatever grade that she will give to me is based on my writing and my ability to reflect critical thinking through my argument on an issue which is dear to me (Society values VS Individual’s self-validation), not according to her whims and fancy.

All in all, thanks for everything.

UNRETURNABLE DRAFTS

I have been sending my draft to my supervisor. As of now, I already sent 4 drafts, including the full final draft which includes Introduction, Author’s Biography, Synopsis, Analysis, and finally Implication in Education/Teaching. I don’t know whether she will read it. She hasn’t returned those previous 3 drafts that I’ve sent to her; I don’t know if she knows where she put it anyway. If I were to wait for her, I would not be able to finish my research paper in a million years. However, if I proceed without getting her feedback of where I should improve and what I should change, my research paper could be on the wrong track. But being wise (I do so hopefully think), I proceeded without waiting for her to return back my drafts which I have sent for almost a month ago. A smart or a deadly move? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
