This blog entry will contain some thoughts I have regarding my thesis that I'm writing at this very moment.
To beginn with, I'm writing a thesis in economics and it aims to measure individuals' willingness to pay for Fairtrade coffee. I'm very interested in this matter and it is nice to see the effects Fairtrade has had on the livings standards for people in developing countries. There are, however, Fairtrade opponents that state that Fairtrade does not increase economic growth and hence not welfare but this is not the matter of discussion for this blog entry
At this moment, subject for my thoughts is the numerous issues and obstacles that comes with writing a thesis. I actually find it rather difficult writing it and it is defenitely the most demanding task I've done since I started studying. Maybe this is how it should be, "the ultimate test". Sometimes it just feels like I never have time or the ability to perform the tasks as good as I might want to do them. One could always study more right?
These feelings and thoughts of mine might appear from the fact that I'm turning in my thesis this very friday and I don't have the slightest idea how I'm going to make it ;/ There is just not enough hours on a day. My tuitor told me that it would be allright if I finish it during the summer and hand it in when the fall semester beginns. Sure, I could do that but it would feel so good just to get it over with.
So, I'm off writing then =)

Hi!
Interesting subject you have choosen! I`m also writing my thesis in economics, but I must say that it went much smoother to write this compared to my C-thesis last year. The title of my D-thesis is "The Flex-Fuel engine: Does the flexibility create a value for the consumer", it is a Real Options approach and includes mostly statistics. I wish you best luck with your work! /Alexander
I totally understand your pain! I think writing the thesis is a hell! I have two c-thesis that I’ve started to write and they are not finished! All books and materials are stirring at me from my desk. I’m afraid to even look that way. At some point I’ve just lost motivation and now I’m paying for it - big anxiety! It’s like a big cloud hanging above me! So I wish you better motivation
