Thesis!

Today I sat down with my professor and went over the rough draft of my thesis.  It was good to hear his feedback and to get his perspective on the work I have been able to do so far.  He really surprised me when he told me after we had been talking for a few minutes that the thesis in general read really nicely and it was well done.  I usually just get criticism and we need to work on this and this type things.  He isn't really negative, but he gets on a certain track and just doesn't see anything else sometimes and is also sometimes pretty focused on small things and doesn't give these types of complements ever (at least up to now).  So that was really nice.

So after that meeting I have a lot of work to do before I can safely feel confident about my chances of getting done this semester.  I will be okay but I have a lot of work to do, especially in the next week.  Today was good.  I got several small parts of the thesis taken care of like the abbreviations table.  I had to collect all the abbreviations in the paper and locate them into a certain table.  Not bad there were only 14.  So I have a list about 2 pages long of one line things to fix and take care of but that is okay.  I have a goal and direction.  The only thing between those things now is the work to get there.  I can do that.  Luckily I have done a lot of work already so I am not really needing to do some serious drafting, just formatting and clarifying.

So at the end of this day I am headed to the park!  That is about the best thing to cap off a day for sure.
