There are many internet websites with the magic recipe for getting through an mba thesis. Most involve outsourcing the whole thing to someone for a vast sum of money.
Having immediately dismissed the idea of wholesale cheating, we are all slogging through the material to get stuff written on time for the deadline on Monday.
But in the face of such adversity, we are working out our own recipe for getting through the thesis.
There is, as on the other websites, no magic formula. But its amazing what a difference the closeness of our group makes to the experience. We are all far away from each other, but there are sms's, short notes on email, calls, and facebook exchanges keeping us all going. It makes such a difference to know that there are people supporting you through this mammouth job.
There is another thing that has made tonight's typing easier. Ginger tea.
As usual, with little sleep and a lot of pressure, I am pretty run down. So tonight I made some ginger tea and Marina and Janet came over to my room, mugs in hand, and we all happily slurped tea for a while. The girls liked it, even though Jenny seemed a bit mystified that it looked so much like soup in the pan!
I am now trying to determine whether the medicinal benefits of the tea are good enough to justify a trip out to the Chinese shop tomorrow to stock up on ginger, or whether really, I just need to crack on.
I can always drink tea when I finish. Or for that matter, something more interesting!
Roll on Monday at midnight...
