Doing A Little Better

Posted by Jeroen , 09 September 2012 · 146 views

I'm doing a little better today. Not as sad as yesterday and the day before, but still feeling it. The experience of failing my Master Thesis was one of the most embarrassing and horrible experiences I've had so far. It was just so humiliating.

I've continued work on my new Master Thesis. Right now, I'm reading through Everything is Illuminated and taking notes on concepts and themes. However, I'm finding it hard to concentrate since the failure of my Thesis is still haunting me. Forgetting it would such sweet bliss.

Today, I'm a sad creature, but not as sad as I could be... :confusedread:

I'm so sorry things didn't go well with your thesis, Jeroen. ((HUGS))

Jeroen, I think anyone would be down in the dumps if they failed their Master's Thesis defense. The thing I noticed about you is that you learned from that experience and you are already working on a new thesis. That is such a great step forward. I'm proud of you Jeroen, you have made great strides forward in the time I've known you!

You've picked yourself up and are getting on with your next attempt, which is completely commendable Jeroen. As Librarylady said, anyone would be down about that! I'm sure as you get more into this thesis, the sting of the last one will subside.

Keep going Jeroen!
