Postcard from Thesis Hell, In Which I Continue to Love My Department

So last Friday I went to talk to my thesis advisor, because I did not have a thesis in hand. And he said he wouldn't have time to even look at my thesis until May 1st. Which is, fortunately, four days before I have to give the Honors program a bound copy. So that's the new date for having a completed draft.

And in other thesis news, I presented it at the MSSA colloquium today. Meaning, I stood up and talked for about 15 minutes about my thesis. With minimal notes. There was only one spot where I got a little stuck, but got going again pretty quickly. Dr. Gallagher really liked it. And people had questions! Yay! [livejournal.com profile] hannah_phi brought philosophy people along. And my cousin, who, it turns out, is in Dr. O's other class, turned up.

Now I know that my thesis is all up there in my brain; I just need to sit down and put it on paper.

So, it was a pretty awesome day. At least, until the Scribendi wrap-up discussion went on way too long and I went from "bored" clear through "cranky" and finally coming to rest at "pissy."
