Thesis Update!

I know you’re all really upset that I haven’t updated you in a while. Don’t worry, I’m on page 32 of my thesis. I will be on page 35 by the end of the day, and I will have a draft to edit by Tuesday.

There. Now you can stop crying an go about your lives. It’s weird that you’re so invested in my progress anyway…

23 pages of thesis written

In case you were wondering. I know you were.

Why being a morning person is awesome:

I’ve been looking at my schedule for next week, trying to figure out when I can work on my thesis because I have a draft due February 6th and that’s soon and scary and I only have 9 pages written so far and oh dear will I ever finish and graduate and get a big girl job and…

Anyway, I realized that I can go to the library at 8am on Tuesday and Thursday, work totally uninterrupted for an hour because it’s 8am and the first week of classes, and avoid having to take the T during rush hour. I am the winner!

(I realize I’m not going to write 31-51 pages in two hours a week. There are other times, too. That’s just what I’m most excited about.)

  • Run 9 miles
  • outline 20 pages of thesis 
  • meet with thesis advisor
  • write letters
  • finish knitting a VERY SECRET SURPRISE
  • mail textbooks
  • make awesome chili
  • clean room
  • laundry
  • clean apartment
  • mail MORE textbooks
  • write first section of thesis

I guess I’m cleaning after work today. And writing thesis.

This is my “17 pages of outline down, 2 or 3 or a million more to go!” face. Hint: It involves coffee. Lots and lots of coffee.
(You’re darn tootin’ I’m writing in my room today. Too much library lately.)

Let’s Edit the List

Earlier this week, I posted this list:

This week, in a list:
  • Run 9 miles
  • outline 20 pages of thesis
  • meet with thesis advisor
  • write letters
  • finish knitting a VERY SECRET SURPRISE
  • mail textbooks
  • make awesome chilli
  • clean room
  • laundry
  • clean apartment

Now, the list looks more like this:

  • Run 9 miles (3 more left to go. That’s why it’s about 2/3 crossed out.)
  • outline 20 pages of thesis (halfway there! sort of!)
  • meet with thesis advisor
  • write letters
  • finish knitting a VERY SECRET SURPRISE
  • mail textbooks
  • make awesome chili
  • clean room
  • laundry
  • clean apartment
  • mail MORE textbooks

This is my “at the library working on my thesis research” face.
(Please note that other than pausing to take pictures of myself, I’m actually being fairly productive!)

Good news and bad news

The bad news is, I bought the shoes. In two colors.

The good news is, they were on sale.
