I took my last exam in my last class on Wednesday. Now all I have to do to finish my master’s degree is finish my thesis. My plan is to hand in a good draft to my advisors on January 8, then have it completed and turned in to the university by the end of winter term, March 16.
It looks like it’s going to be about 30,000 words (100 pages, yow!), of which about 10,000 are in good shape. The rest needs to be turned from a structured collection of notes and excerpts into readable prose that makes sense.
Julie and Sylvan left for New York this morning; I leave in nine days. That means I have five excuse-free weekend days and four workdays to rewrite about 20,000 words. Hmm, 3,000 words of rewriting each weekend day, and 1,000 words each workday. That should be possible.
