To refresh your memory,


...I am currently writing my thesis project on Packaging Design.
It is a beauty.
(The process, at least.)

Interesting how my supervisor has sent me
a "model" thesis of one of her students that
was a top-rated one (on another subject).

Funny how I see that this student has spent
50 pages rambling on about all types of
research methods and their strategies,
just to pick two at the end.

Amazing-not-quite how I will freak out
if I wake up on the 30th of January
(day before thesis submission deadline)
and decide that I had better do exactly
what she did, JUST BECAUSE.

Call me big-headed, I just don't like coming second
(when I know I can do better).

In the words of Homer (the ancient Greek poet) :

"Αἰὲν ἀριστεύειν καὶ ὑπείροχον ἔμμεναι ἄλλων, μηδὲ γένος πατέρων αἰσχυνέμεν"

(English translation: Forever excelling and being greater than others, do not disgrace the generation of your ancestors  -> or something like this, you get the picture :) )


Tip of the day: "Don't drink and write"
