10:30 Again - Time for Another Update

I'm liking this nightly schedule I'm forcing on myself: stop working about 10 (or earlier if I can convince myself that I'd be starting a new "project" that requires more time than from then until 10pm), blog at 10:30, turn off lights, shower, etc. at 11, read until midnight, get to sleep at a decent hour. I'd like to move everything an hour earlier (including waking up in the mornings), but I doubt that will happen until I start working. This schedule is better than nothing, though.

I know I talked about getting a lot of work done yesterday, but I got a lot more done today. I'm meeting with my thesis committee Thursday morning, and Dr. Moeller asked me to pull together some bullet points of conclusions I've reached. I'm the type who can't generate summaries without the detailed results, so I just sat down to write the next chapter of my thesis. I made it about halfway through tonight. I'd like to finish by tomorrow afternoon, get a copy to Moeller, and write up the bullet points tomorrow night. That will put me with only two chapters left to write (overall conclusions / recommendations and introduction), plus all the stupid, stupid formatting. And a PowerPoint, and the actual defense. Looks like that defense will be no later than August 8. The deadline is August 10, but I think Dr. Vakili will be out the last couple of days of that. As long as I keep going at this pace, I could defend anytime in August without any problem, I just need to pick a time. I'm just ready to get this thing done.

Bring me a taco.
Yes, Mr. President.
HA! Tacos rule.

More tomorrow.
