Constructing

I'm trying (still) to write my essay: "The contribution of constructivism to understandings of states in International Political Economy: a critical analysis". This title I kind of chose myself.

1. Critical analysis seems very unlikely at the moment. I don't even know what I'm talking about a lot of the time.

2. I have about 3,000 words at the moment. The finished essay should be 3,500. However, I'll have to take out quite a lot of the words I have at the moment and put some different ones in.

3. I get very easily distracted by the internet.

4. I'm not sure that my essay will relate to IPE either. IPE seems to be both everything and nothing.

5. I'm becoming a hermit. I just sit at home and read books and write about what they say. I was in my pyjamas (technically they're Matt's - they're longer and warmer than mine and much more suitable for being in all day) and the only reason I got dressed at all was because I'm going to see the Levellers later today and I thought I probably should be.

This is the edge of madness. I spend most of my time at home reading stuff and look at people's blog six times a dayto try to have some sort of social life. So commenting on my own blog is probably the cyber-equivalent of people who wander round Manchester having a fine time talking to themsleves.

Also, I can't remember what I was going to say. I may be going mad. I find myself trying to put things in the wrong place - the butter in the bin, the bread in the fridge, milk in my squash, tea in my coffee. Have I already said this? I don't know. I thought about posting about it but maybe I only wrote it in an email to someone.

Beware! Doing a masters is bad for your mental health.
