“What is the significance of your thesis and the contribution to the field?”
The question most of us did probably hear in our defense stage, or we have already heard it couple of times. In general, an answer to this question might be “ending the poverty and injustice in the world.” After all, this very cause is raison d’être for many of them, or it is probably not.
Nevertheless that is exactly what my thesis is all about, and it's full of sentences like "this requires dexterity" or "this is another obstacle" or "it is a hard task". In the end it turned out to be another study blabbering about why it is hard to end poverty and injustice, or maybe even how not to put an end to them; let alone the fact that I could not even write about that time to time! Then I've seen that my thesis has developed a personality. She, herself, impeded me from writing it. Once, she looked into my eyes and ridiculed me: "Really, you are gonna end poverty and injustice by sitting on your ass, and bullshitting about abstract 'principles' and writing words on me in between getting wasted?”
Dear Justine, I said (and yes this is a reference to Melancholia), "shut the f.ck up, and stop depressing people."
Happy graduation everyone! I am out of here!
