Which means the next post will probably not be for weeks. I got quite a bit done today (and last night for that matter). Still there’s so much to do.

I’m still trying to finish two overdue finals from previous quarters. My goal is to have them done by the end of the weekend. After that it’s all thesis all of the time. The next major deadline for that is a workshop which I’ve committed to presenting at on June 3rd (or somewhere in that area).

Plus I’ve got to start packing.

On the job front, I’ve had a couple nibbles so far. Unfortunately one of those was for a firm in Texas. That’s not going to happen.

Time is flying. Faster and faster. Michicago went very well. I’ve got about three weeks left of school. I’m not quite sure how I will get everything done. I’ve got a minimum of 60 pages dues. And then the thesis which I’m calc’ing at around 60 pages.

Plus I need to find a job, a task I wasn’t expecting to have to undertake. Any leads in the Rochester area would be appreciated.

this has been a tough week. I’m really drained. I’m behind in reading, thanks to the Michicago Paper. And I’m just sorta feeling, i dunno, separated from my surroundings. I’ve got less than five weeks to go. Well, after that it’s all thesis all the time until I finish it.

The weird part is, I just feel unstatisfied. I got an excellent grade on a midterm that I wrote in two hours. And that doesn’t feel right. I’m not completely satisfied with the Michicago paper I’ve been working on straight for the last few weeks.

Clearly I’m losing a sense of perspective. I expect to have it back in a day or two.

Here is the draft of my presentation for the Michicago conference. These scant eight and a half pages are a summation of the first thirty or so pages of my thesis. Now I just need to figure out how to get through those eight pages in fifteen minutes.

Any feedback on the paper will be very, very welcome.

The Michicago paper is done. Its the tightest 8 and 1/2 pages I’ve ever written and I still need to find some way to cut out an additional page. Oy. For interested parties, here’s a copy for those who wish to read/provide feedback.

Now its time for sleep.
