85 hours for one paper?!!
(A door of opportunity, a Charlotte Pourquoi work) Okay this is another rant on learning. Recently, I had the opportunity to write a research paper. The only problem was that I had never worked on a research paper before in an official capacity. I've always loved learning but never pursued it academically (apart from high school but that's a different story altogether). However, this opportunity proved to be perfect, in a utopian, idealistic sense. It was all fun and games until I actually began to write the paper. At first it was layers of reading to familiarise myself with the content and then I sat down to write, only to realise that I knew nothing. Sure, an intentional ideal was scribbled down in an abstract (that took 2 hrs to formulate properly) and by God's grace it got accepted. But how does one even move from that point to a point of awareness enough to write a research paper about it? I thought I did, that is until I started to read more and knew that...
