Late at night and I am still working on my thesis statements burning the midnight oil. I heard before that artist took stimulating substance like drugs and alcohol so in the state of half conscious and half unconscious great creative work was produce. A lot of artist also died because of it as well, as for me coffee is my stimulus for ideas the lack of sleep is not really giving me any inspiration (even though I may just be in the state of half conscious and half unconscious) and the lack of time made me even restless
The truth is laying down don’t help me get ideas, standing doesn’t give my big ideas sitting down is not giving me any ideas even jumping up and down will still not going to help get any great ideas on how to do this thesis paper, but hey no way am I giving up without a fight, its just my thesis paper I know everyone else is just as restless as I am I just need to work out how to put my ideas into paper which is easier said than done.

all the things or topic to avoid in a conversation
My position paper has a hint of sexual content a sprinkle of religions issue but luckily no political issue was involve or it would have made up all the things or topic to avoid in a conversation
Last semester when I study the Freudian reading about how anything that's longer than it is wide can be a symbolisation of a male. So the moon and the lake is representation of female, the pillars of the room are male and the walls female. Never did I imagine I would have to use it to support my argument in my position paper. Go to show how you never know what you have learn can be useful and can be applied.
I all come down however in convincing myself that the snake really is a male intrusion in to female space, because if I myself doubt it how am I to fine points for my thesis statement?

Freudian reading phallic symbol and The Garden of Eden
Ah ~!!! My position paper is far from complete “ miles to go before I sleep”
I seems there is more to my position paper then just what I get from the text. More research need to be done on my paper and the title of my blog is among the things I need to look in to
Freudian reading of the text, the snake is a phallic symbol of a male symbol and what the snake or serpent in the famous biblical garden The garden of Eden more or less I need to prove that there is a present of a male in the house represented by the snake who is most of the time not present.
Well I might be able to put these points it into paper but when it’s time for me to present it in front of the class soon, it is going to be…well with all those girls heh it is going to be nerve racking to put my argumentative point across to them Not to sound glum but you got to do what ye gat to do “ there’s not a reason why but to do and die” better start looking for those points quick

The 4 wives and a husband method
What
Where
Who
Why
How
That is how I generate ideas for my thesis points; so far it has not fall me yet. I like this method it kind of guide you to focus on one point at a time so you don’t stress yourself to much on the whole topic but break it into parts and eventually add up as a whole, and hopefully coherent thesis. If you tackle the problem one at a time it some how seems easier for me anyway. Hopefully this can also help me in justifying my point if my lecturer asks me the W-H questions.

The allusive snake
Need those five points for my thesis statement. It’s hard to write about something that you don’t get much textual evident to support. The snake in the Drover’s wife appears and disappears under the house how do you write about something that is absent most of the time in the story? To top it all up I need to some how convince reader that the snake is a male intrusion in to female space (the Drover’s wife)
I thought it would be quicker and easier to look for textual evidence if I choose a short text compare to a novel but unfortunately now it seems that it backfire in a sense that I can’t find any point from the text to actually aid me in my quest for those five points.
Well like what my lecturer said the snake appear and disappear like the absent husband there should be some point I could dig up and I will see what happen this coming Monday, hopefully most of my point are relevant and can be accepted by my lecturer.

finalize
Today we are all supposed to finalize our thesis statement. My previous thesis statement well let’s just say it need some improvement so my first draft of the position paper need to be redo again because the new and improve thesis statement is kind of different from the previous one so now I need to come up with new 5 points to support my new thesis statement hope I can make the ideas coherent and flow smoothly from one paragraph to the next.
Well I consider myself lucky because some of my course mates are still in the dark and hopefully the sample thesis statement which cost $0.30 will help them.
In my opinion they really should stick to text that has been taught by our lecturer and not choose a text that is new simply because if you choose something new our lecturer may not have read or unfamiliar with the story and therefore may not be able to assist us in-depth.

my fan broke down
I finish my position paper, well my first draft anyway. The reason why I did it so quickly is because I was not very comfortable with the text and my thesis statement so if I could let my lecturer go through it I would know whether my thesis is a thumb up or thumb down paper. Well it turn out that my lecturer was unable to attend lecture that day. Well never mind I still have my Research paper to worried about but ironically my fan broke down last night. Now my room is the smallest in the flat apartment (cheapest as well) so you can imagine how hot it would be without a fan and last night of all night to broke down. There was fire problem some where in Putrajaya and it was quite hazy that evening and at night it’s extremely hot and my fan broke down. I couldn’t do anything don’t feel like doing anything and today my fan is still not fix hoping to get it fix as soon as possible or I don’t think I can really concentrate.
