So, here's the problem: the clock is ticking on my master's. I had wanted to finish by August.
That's not looking so good. Most of the work I did in 2006 is lost/useless/forgotten.
Fall 2011 is the last possible term to complete by the seven year deadline.
While I don't really think I can finish in four weeks, if I can write the first two (or three) chapters by mid-July, I'll be in good shape.
Summary of the problem:
- Won't be home until August
- No books
- No access to online university library
- No desk
- No office supplies except for a blue pen and a pad of Post-its
Solution:
- San Jose City Library Online Database of Journals
- Books via Kindle
- Purchased a few other books not available on Kindle
- Zotero for pdf's and citation organization (use Firefox & Word plugins)
- SugarSync & Dropbox for files
- Evernote for random notetaking on articles
- Acrobat for notes directly on pdf's
- Starbucks & Library are now my study hall
I've got until July 13.
