Thesis Assumptions

From: http://hikingthecarolinas.com

A thesis seems to be a huge monolithic endeavor. Like climbing a mountain or digging a deep hole in search of treasure. It is to be a culmination of my interests and skills. It's an intimidating process. I assume baby steps. I assume criticism. I assume I will have a hard time communicating my concepts some of the time. At some point I assume as I climb the ever steepening foothills I'll reach a point where the incline will exponentially increase. I assume at this point I will become frustrated, I'll probably flounder and generally be miserable. I assume that at this point I'll either find an alternate root or I'll find the hand and foot holds needed to climb the flat face. I assume I'll waste time. I'll get much better at what I want to do. I assume I won't get the result that I have in mind right now. I assume that I will gain invaluable insight from instructors and my peers. I don't assume that I will succeed, but I will make sure that I do.
