A journey of a thousand miles...

Jul 16, 2008 03:27

What's 10 days in 8 years? About 1 in 290 in a lazy 3:30 am approximation - <.4%.. Actually technically I have only 2 days to turn in the bloody thesis so that's <.08%.. Unfortunately though in this grad school race there are no prizes for surviving 99.92% of the race - it's a 100 or bust - boo.. Wish me luck!

Thanks - need it..

Ehum... though I'm tempted to ask why it's 10 days and not a month before defense, I'll hold until you're done with it.
You'll be fine, good luck!

Keep us posted on the 'defense' trial! I'm excited for you.. So it's on the 26th?

>Keep us posted on the 'defense' trial

Will do although at the risk of sounding over-confident I'm not overly worried about it - was very stressed about the writing, it's a pretty formal document but the talk etc should (touchwood) be ok..

Thank you! Loong time no hear - how are things? And the baby?

murthys_r_us July 19 2008, 23:01:01 UTC

Things are great! Have been busy, as can be expected. Baby is doing well. He is learning to walk without support, contributes to conversations with his babbling and is teaching us a whole bunch!

You can do it!

Thanks! Have taken over the senior grad student mantle - will be weird to not be a student anymore..

Thanks for the wishes Andy.. The stress was by and large about getting the thesis done, a few sleep deprived dayd later it looks like it's finally coming together :-) Am really glad the gangue is coming down too!
