Halfway home
One project done. Just have to go through the usual final checks for consistency and proper grammar tomorrow morning before I head down to campus and dump it in my professor's office.

Glad I started drafting it over Thanksgiving. Even though I had to put a lot of work into shaping the rough lumps of text I threw together over the holiday, I spent most of my time cutting out pieces this weekend. Judging by my notes, I could have tacked on another 15-20 pages, but my professor was pretty adamant about not exceeding 30 (oops!) unless it were absolutely necessary.
Never thought as an undergrad that I'd have problems with length maximums!
