Well, the vast majority of the text is written, and has been commented upon. I'm now at 12060 words, with a minimum limit of 12000, so only have met the word count.
My current dissertation 'to-do' list is
*write the introduction
*finish the conclusion
*write short introductions and conclusions to each chapter
*check spelling
*mend references
*add page numbers
*mend bibliography
The deadline is the 17th April, and I'm hoping to get the first three bits done before the 10th, leaving me with a week to tidy up the damn thing.
My today job is the short introductions and conclusions to each chapter. Each word I write makes me die a little inside, it seems pathetic and childish to write "This is what I'm going to do, this is why I'm going to do it" at the start of every chapter. I really that if a chapter is titled "The Palestine Israel Conflict, and starts with the first Aliya in the 1880s, then it's not a massive leap in reasoning to realise that the chapter is a basic history of the Palestine Israel Conflict. Similally, the chapter titled "Theories about Reconciliation" is a chapter examining theories about reconciliation.
My other problem is what do you put in an introduction? And a conclusion for that matter...'tis all very confusing...At the moment my conclusion is 356 words long, and I've pretty much ran out of things to say. I've just got about five paragraphs, one sumerising each chapter, and one summery of the whole thing. I'm sure that's wrong somehow.
The whole bloody thing makes me want to scream.
In other news, I'm going to see the Terracotta Army on Friday with my family.
