Thesis done and printed

I've been waaay too busy this past week to update you all on the postponement fiasco of last week. I did not send the letter to my advisors, as cooler heads advised. Instead, I wrote to my other advisor to see if he was on the same page as the one who advised postponing -- he was not. I thought my thesis was strong enough and that we could get it into shape in a week. He also made the executive decision that the committee could wait an extra weekend for their copies, giving me yesterday to proofread and today to print.

So, I've worked over 100 hours since last weekend, and the thesis is now printed and at Kinko's being bound. I'll pick it up tomorrow morning on my way to work. I don't plan on staying around all day -- just long enough to drop off copies to my committee members, and maybe have lunch with a friend. Then it's back home to either nap or veg in front of the TV or play Zoo Tycoon. We'll see what I feel like.

Tuesday I'm meeting with my advisors to put figure out the best way for me to spend the next two weeks in preparation for my defense April 11. Yikes!

I also have to give a big shout out to my husband, who wrangled LaTeX for me last week, and late several nights when he had to get up for work in the morning. This would never have come together without his help and support.
