The Thesis!

I'm supposed to be in the "intensive writing phase" of my thesis now. Heh.

My advisors gave me a deadline of October 30^th for a chapter to be completed. I had actually requested a deadline, since I work much better with a deadline. It's one thing to tell me that I'm defending my thesis in March, and a completely different thing to say that I need to finish a chapter by the end of the month. With the somewhat (at this point) nebulous deadline of March, I could put off the writing another couple of months, and then be screwed. But with an October deadline, I will start writing now.

In theory, that is.

In practice, I have put off this writing now for a week. On the other hand, it does seem more urgent, and I finally dug out the drafts I had started about a year ago today. I also grabbed the LaTeX files from our department that will give me the correct format for submitting my thesis to the University.

Now, I just need to write the rest of this sucker. Eep!
