As of today, my phd thesis is already 20 pages long. Hooray! That count's complete with a bibliography, admittedly, but still - 20 pages is not to be sneezed at. It's still very basic and even the basics of the theoretical part will need yet another 40 to 50 pages to cover, but it's a start.
And it's supposed to start snowing in Austria today. What more does one need for a
weekend?
