Progress Report
Hello July 1st!
I've been avoiding putting my thesis together and working on my chapters in individual files. Tonight I finally compiled it all and the good news is I will have no problem at all making my thesis over 100 pages, the bad news is I'm currently only at 70. My supervisor is looking for something between 100-150 as a rough guideline, with the focus of course being on quality over quantity. Some theses are hundreds and hundreds of pages, but at some point less is more, no?
I'm happy with my recent thesis progress (for once!) and have worked through a large chunk of my results chapter in a very short period of time. I still have lots to write though which is both exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I've returned to my late night writing schedule and it's oddly comforting. There is something soothing about the quietness of the house late at night where all I can hear is my upbeat music and my frantic typing. With the rest of the house asleep I can finally find a sense of calm and can focus on my work.
I need to switch gears tomorrow to finish up a project for my research assistant job, which I hope doesn't throw off my thesis groove - eek!
So, cheers to thesis progress and Happy Birthday Canada!
