either i'm the biggest dummy or i'm just not cutting it. ok. granted i've only gotten A's in my grading. but i wrote my draft abstract for my master's project. yes, it was a very rough draft. my preceptor took a look at it and then wrote a two-pager which eliminated most of the language i used and every place where i'd gotten creative with describing the study's parameters! to make it worse, he used 'track changes,' so i can see every little part of my work that he discarded. ouch.
maybe it's because i think i'm a pretty good writer that makes this feel like such an affront. i want to revise his revision and eliminate almost everything that he did, out of spite. i can't do that though... i'm in this position to learn and this is a huge lesson.
LESSON:
an abstract for a study or a paper is not an introduction for an essay.
just when you think you know some shit, you learn you don't know nearly as much shit as you think you do.
blah.
i need to catch up on everything...
