WWJD?

Recently, I was faced with the issue of what to do about my thesis. I was overwhelmed with the amount of work I had placed before myself and the issue of how to go about communicating with my thesis director. I believe, in my situation, that Jane would focus all of her energy into that one project. She seems to focus on one particular issue at a time in her life, like with Mr. Rochester. She went on for chapters about how she felt about him and trying to get herself to not love him. During that time, she did not focus on much else. She knew she could not deny that she was in love with him no matter how bad for her he seemed. Even throughout the chapter where the company plays charades she says that it doesn't matter to her what the other group was doing for their turn; she only had eyes to look at Mr. Rochester.

I admire her focus and wish that I had that courage, determination, and knowledge of myself. She seems to be so sure of everything she does, only occasionally having doubts and not even acting on them. An example of this is when she realized her feelings for Mr. Rochester and thought about leaving. She cut clippings of advertisements looking for teachers for their children. But she never told anyone. She kept it to herself and did not act on it. Therefore, she showed courage in sticking through the awkward times. She showed her determination not to let Mr. Rochester and her feelings get in the way of her comfortable situation of living and with Adele. And she knew that things would work themselves out in the end.
