The man awoke around 2 AM, knowing he should have sleep for another slept for another two hours, and was tired yesterday because of this. He turned on the lights on the way to the bathroom and clothed himself from the hamper before brushing his teeth. After brushing his teeth, he opened the computer and considered doing his homework now, or promising himself that he'd do it yesterday morning. Having realized that he did in fact manage to finish it last minute yesterday morning, he browsed the internet for two or so hours before starting his work. He was proud to have stuck to his recent determination of "play before work".
"Time of Passage by Anonymous reveals the absurdity and beauty of everyday events by telling them in the reverse order, and by doing so creates a novel experience of what would otherwise be a uninteresting life."
Having finished writing his thesis, the man flipped through the reader to decide which story would be most appropriate to write a thesis on, but then decided to screw it and go on his honeymoon.

I really like your thesis sentence. The only thing that I noticed is that it should break up to be two sentences. Like Ms. McMann said the thesis does not have to be a sentence. If you break it down to two sentences it lets you elaborate on some terms you used such as "by doing so creates a novel experience of what would otherwise be a uninteresting life," what do you mean by it creates a novel experience? I kind of understand what you want to say, but I think that if you break it down to two sentences you can elaborate what you mean by that.
This can become two sentences "Time of Passage by Anonymous reveals the absurdity and beauty of everyday events by telling them in the reverse order, and by doing so creates a novel experience of what would otherwise be a uninteresting life." like this...
"Time of Passage by Anonymous reveals the absurdity and beauty of everyday events by telling them in the reverse order. By telling the story in non-chronological order it creates a more interesting point of view of what would otherwise be a uninteresting life."
Other than those two suggestions, I enjoy the introduction and conclusion to your thesis sentence.
Time of Passage was written by J. G. Ballard. That's my mistake. I thought it was on the copy, but apparently is not.
