Checking in
I know that it’s been ages since I’ve written a post here, but hey, I’ve been busy! A lot of things have taken place recently, with even more to come in the next few months.
Right now, the overarching item on my mind is graduating. For the past month, I’ve been working very hard to start tying up all of my loose ends and finish my last major project. With that, I’ve been working on my thesis, which is currently at 148 pages and is due one week from today. I’m finishing a section for my last primary chapter, then all I have remaining is the introduction and a few appendices. Still a lot of work to go, but I think I can get it done in a week … hopefully.
There is also the 2009 APS DFD meeting in Minneapolis in a week. This weekend, I have to prepare my talk (only 10 minutes) so I can practice on Monday and give it a week from this Sunday. Luckily, the conference starts after my thesis is due, so at least I won’t have that to worry about.
And then there’s my thesis defense, which has been confirmed for Friday, December 4 at 10:30 AM. For those of you who are in Minneapolis and want to kill your late morning, stop by!
Besides work, I’m also preparing for my upcoming move to Albuquerque. I’ve made some travel arrangements and am meeting with the moving company next week. Christine is going to drive down with me around the first of the year and help me get set up before I start work on January 11.
So yeah, things are moving along. But for now, I’m feeling like I should get back to writing …
