Not Quite Finished
Mar. 24th, 2007 10:39 pmI didn't have everything done by 8pm Thursday, and I was too stressed out to do any more work between then and my meeting with Ben. However, I did make him cookies.
It turns out he was very impressed with what I had, told me I was in good shape. I just have to format everything (mostly done), edit my intro (barely started), write an abstract based on that intro (haven't even contemplated that, write my chapter 5, the discussion of my evidence (I've thought long and hard about that, and it will be long and hard to write), write a 300 word abstract of chapter 3, the history and texts, based on the outline I have (Ben is a just and merciful thesis advisor), and leave space for a conclusion, but I can leave it blank (I'm actually putting in the subheadings, because I think I should tell people where I'm going.)
And then he sent me an e-mail saying how pleased he was with my progress. :)
So I'm almost done, though even after I submit this for competition, I'll have to write chapter 3 and 6. Everyone is under the mistaken impression that I'm done because
cynara_linnaea is done with hers. But no, history and anthropology have different deadlines, because anthro gives us the weekend.
And then I get to catch up on my multitudes of other work, including my Monge exam and GIS assignments.
And I should at least contemplate eating and sleeping. I think it's time to pack off and head to the panini bar and then do work in HRN.
