I literally had a meeting with my professor today about these upcoming assignments where she stressed to me not to get distracted and keep it narrow, right? I sat there and explained that I want to include this and I think this is related but I'm worried that it's not strictly relevant and will lead to me getting distracted which I do not have room for in my word count and she looked at me like 'yeah obviously? like why are you bringing it up if you already know thats whats going to happen?' because the issue isn't that I don't know what the problem is, I'm well aware of my problems, the issue is that knowing isn't enough to prevent it. I need you to tell me that I'm right in this assessment and that I definitely cannot include all of that. I need strict parameters because I cannot be trusted

#Uni shenanigans #ace is a mess #i have two assignments for this class one is a research poster on a topic of my choosing related to my course with a word count of 300-700 #words. very limited word count. the other is a reflective essay in which im supposed to reflect on improvements ive been given on my #assignments from first semester identify said issues the research behind them and make a plan for how to improve upon them right?#so im doing comorbidities for the research poster and doing my tendancy to be overly ambitious with my goals which leads to me not being #able to give each point the attention it needs which results in a lack of details cus id rather include a dozen citations than develop two #cus i convince myself theyre all relevant and necessary which isnt entirely accuratre #and despite knowing that this is a reoccurring issue for me that im literally doing an assignment on i cannot stop myself from doing so #we talked through the research poster and the issues im having keeping it focused cus i dont know whats most relevant to include and her #giving me pointers of what to do what to keep and whats too far from the topic to be keepable and then she asked what i was doing my essay #on again? and was like ah yes that okay i can see why youre doing thats definitely relevant to you #she did tell me that my research is always good that thats not one of the issue that i am having that others have and its like yeah because #this is how i am i get distracted and thats with only skimming the article and reading only the abstract in details i am incapable of #staying limited and now im posting on tumblr about it so as to not get sucked down another research rabbit hole cus i dont know how to not
