Today's the day; a scant six hours away. My hands are shaking ever so slightly. Damn I'm nervous.

It is written.

Sitting in front of me, right now, is the first complete draft of my thesis, the one being submitted to my committee. It weighs in at 139 pages. As a side note, did you know that it will cost you about $60 to make 6 copies of a 139 page document? I see how copiers pay for themselves now.

Hi! It's been a while since I posted a life update here. So here's the short version:

I'm defending my thesis on September 5. If there are no needed changes after that, I'll be Dr. Brian. And I'll be out of work, ever so temporarily. :-)

That also means I'm writing quite a bit right now; I never thought this would be so hard, but it's taken me a long time to write this thing. And I'm almost done now. It'll be nice to be done with formal education....
