Not a thesis? Chyeah, right, whatever.

95 pages written, plus 5 bibliography, 171 footnotes. It's a f@cking thesis, dammit. AND I wrote an annotated bibliography and course syllabus to go with it. So wanna tell me again it's the "non-thesis option?"

Augh. Point is, it's done. Or it damn well better be. I'm going to go sleep for a week. Well, no, I have to take mom to the doc tomorrow. (Yes, we got her test results finally, and yes, the big C is back.... *sigh*)

Plz to shoot me nao?

I fear the day I have to write my thesis... x_x

Well, my advice (which I know you haven't asked for, but that never seems to stop us academic types) is:
- start early
- have a narrower focus than you think you need or could have (it's far easier to widen later than to figure out where to trim down!)
- be damned careful in picking your committee! My present is my second entire committee (or third, depending on how one reckons these things), and they have been quite helpful. It can easily be less, er, congenial, however.

Also, while they may be very rigorous on you (which is not a bad thing), I'd say go for older, established faculty with less to prove and less likelihood of being caught up in politics...
