the horrors of making a thesis (pt. 1)

i was informed wednesday evening by marie, my very good friend and our litsoc treasurer, that we would have to come up with three possible thesis titles by friday afternoon... to say that i was horrified was an understatement. i was in complete and utter shock! i could not believe sir ferlo would surprise us like that. but then again, with sir ferlo, you can expect the unexpected. so i texted marie back, complete with expletives, about how sudden things were. and to top that all off, i was vacationing in aurora then, where i had no internet... plus, i haven't got my notebooks with me! for a split-second, i panicked. but after a moment, i regained composure and i started to think of a plan to get my ass out of possible trouble.

i asked marie if she could text me every single thesis title that was on the 2002-2008 lit senior's theses list. and yup, my dependable friend texted every single one of 'em. marie, if you're reading this, THANKS A LOT. i really appreciate that you're always there for me. hehe. so enough of the drama, and let's get back to my dilemma. where was i? oh, the part when i received every single title right? goodness gracious great balls of fire. i was aghast.

thursday morning, and i still haven't thought of a definite thesis title. BUT i did have an idea of the coverage of my possible theses. the first one involves film and lit, the second, involves film only, and the third one is about pop culture. and so on the journey back to bulacan, i stayed awake all ten hours of the trip, all the while texting marie, sharyn and leo. oh yes. yours truly was bangag all throughout.

i arrived in malolos at around 3pm i think, and as soon as i got home, i uploaded pics into my multiply account. very nice huh? i was so pressed for time and still, i found the time to squeeze in multiply-ing. haha! oh well, that's me alright. and after a bit of net surfing, looking for possible theories and stuff, i dozed off. and when i woke up, it was already friday morning! the horror of it all... i was 6 hours away from the deadline, and i virtually had nothing! nada, zero, zilch. i thought i was doomed to perdition.

but then, at noon that day, a text from sharyn surprised me! it said that the deadline for the submission of thesis titles was moved to sunday, at 6 pm. yay! as soon as i received the wonderful news, i released a sigh of good 'ol relief. dang! i thought i wasn't gonna make it in time! whew. flash-forward to today, sunday.

it's almost 10 am and i think the gravity of my situation has just sunk in. I HAVE TO COME UP WITH TITLES! so far my first one is halfway through. hehe. geez, talk about procrastinating! i think i should be the poster girl for the association of procrastinators and crammers! sheesh. i'm sure hoping i will get the job done by 4pm. pray for me!
