enismirdalTheses are asymptotic, I realise.
A few weeks ago, it was 80% done.
A week ago, it was 90% done.
It's now 98% done.
On Sunday it'll be 99% done.
When I take it for binding next week (we hope) it'll be 99.9% done.
I don't think a thesis is ever truly 100% done.
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think I've lost the ability to feel! Days consist of getting up, sitting in my pyjamas and working, changing into clothes and working, waiting till it gets dark then changing back into pyjamas, crashing and relaxing for a while, then going to bed. Rinse, repeat. It's not bad. But it utterly destroys your sense of reality.
Still...MA tomorrow. After this, I will be Eni Dragon MA (Cantab.). Squee! Flatmates and flatmate's bestest buddy are all coming so it should be jolly. Still don't know what time the ceremony is, as St Catharine's is still, apparently, living in the Stone Age and posted the time of the ceremony in the Porters' Lodge rather than somewhere helpful which can be accessed from anywhere other than the Porters' Lodge, e.g. the website. But when we arrive in the morn, all will be revealed. Some time between 1pm and 3pm anyway.
Huuuuuuuuuuuge water outage over much of East London this afternoon (major burst water pipe in Olympic Park) - 4000 homes without water. They sent us home from the department for reasons of health and safety! (So I went from one building with no water to another with no water...very helpful.) But it came back on late this afternoon, and the enterprising Costcutter guys were selling off their entire stock of bottled water (if there was a chemical attack on East London, I swear they'd probably turn out to have gas masks stashed in the back room and start selling them - gotta love enterprising corner shop owners!) so Eni got tea and all was right in the world.
Hurrah.

Date: 27 Mar 2010 01:55 (UTC)Mine was more than half done after ayear of work, until I started checking it again. Not more than half done anymore... There are so many angles to the problem now that I have had time to think about it, and so many things to think about, to check and test... At least you are already near the end.
