If I Wait Long Enough, It Will Go Away!

[4thofeleven]

When I started my honors thesis this year, I was told it should be 20,000-22,000 words long.

A few months later, my supervisor told me the word limit was actually 16,000-18,000.

Today, she told me that the word limit includes footnotes.

This is not good for my work ethic to have my workload constantly shrinking through no effort on my part...
