I had a dream...

Actually I had a few weird ones last night but I also had a really, really good one.
You could say it was a productive dream.
I will explain.

Once upon a time in my subconscious sleeping mind,
I had a dream about my thesis.
I was doing my proposal presentation and it was a little different than what I thought it would be.
I would get into the details, but then I would have to explain my whole thesis, and that would take SOOO long.
Needless to say, I was proposing what I've been researching the past few weeks, 
but with a "twist" of sorts.

I woke up with this excitement because it made perfect sense.
Yes, even after I woke up, that is not always the case.

You see, I've been struggling because I've picked a subject that I could do a doctoral dissertation on.
and a few books,
actually I could do 30 years of work on it and still feel like I was scratching the surface.

I am really not up for a thesis that is that long.

So I've been trying to find ways to shorten it.
To no avail.
Until last night...well early this morning.

So, this morning, with a fire in my belly (as well as cornflakes) I am changing tactics.
I have a plan that will reign in all those lovely tangents I love,
and make this project a good thesis,
as opposed to a lifelong pursuit.

I'm feeling pretty dang good about that.
So good in fact that I am quite literally bounding in my chair.
Which has caused some dangerous squeaking.
So I will have to stop.

Good start to the day.
This clarity is perfectly timed really, because my adviser is coming into the country today.
Yep, and now I will have good news and lots of work done!

Yay for blessings!
