Man this thesis is taking wayyyy more time than expected. Sometimes I feel like flying to Amsterdam, get Prof Steen a seat next to me and say "Here, Jeremy-Renner-lookalike, point out what is wrong with my analysis, because I can't seem to get anywhere!"
And he probably would say "Why don't you read more?"
Read more. That's the problem. I read too little. Too little reading. Too little time. When I had a LOT of time, I was busy searching for WHAT to write. Such is my life.
Now that I am running out of time (see I plant a metaphor there? see?) I can't even put my fingers on which one to read first. It's agonizing, really. All I want is that for someone to point out the direction. There is no one here who can show me what is really going on. And that is the reason why I want to finish this ASAP. To go abroad and do PhD with either Prof Steen or Prof Semino. No one else.
But now I gotta work this baby first. I love it. I love learning every single thing about metaphors in psycholinguistic and linguistic sense. But I don't know whether I should take both route, or go deeper into one of them?
It will be answered soon. Soon enough.
