Thanks to everyone who congratulated me on finishing my thesis! I handed in a copy to Dr. Ewen today and he said that I should go ahead and distribute it to the rest of my committee members. I think that I am going to wait and go through it really carefully once myself after having a bit of time away from it. My paper for Dr. Stewart is due next Tuesday, which is sooner than I'd thought (or hoped -_-). I think Dr. S will give me some leeway - I keep thinking today is Thursday, so I do have about a week, and even with all my gaming I should be able to manage fine as I have absolutely nothing else. Anyway. Once that is done, I print the thesis and nitpick it, and then I give it to pl like Carl and Dr. D and Dr. Babits. I am going to e-mail the rest of my committee with this info tomorrow.

I am quite glad to have gotten it mostly finished though, and think that staying up all night/day was definitely worth it in most ways. I have generally had a good day:

Had IHOP breakfast with tsiankiio which I hadn't seen in a damned long time, saw Dina at the history lab, passed in the thesis, picked up a package at the post office at a leisurely pace, had some frickin' tasty Indian buffet where the two waiters around were fighting over each other to see that I was happy and well supplied :), survived the Class Of Really Bad Puns without throttling Wilson or Dr. Stewart, and came home and crashed out dead for two ours.

On the other side of things:

My shoulder is still really sore from the fact that I have no possible good arrangement of desk/monitor/keyboard mouse. Fixing my appendices required a lot of minor mindless mouse clicking. In fact, sitting here I can already feel the stabbing pain coming back. I kept my wrist well bound so it's okay, but I have a patch of numbness along the outside of my right thumb. I really think I pinched a nerve. I know from my very basic reflexology that this is the area associated with the spine, reinforcing my 'pinched nerve in the shoulder area' theory. Boo. Also, I had to wait outside Dr/ E's office for nearly an hour before I could get to see him, though I eventually discovered that I *did* have my ipod, which made me much less restless. However my legs were all tingly/asleep and made me wonder if I don't have some greater circulation issue :p I could probably just use some more red meat or something similar. I plan to take tonight off the computer, for the most part (I'm sure you are all either shocked or you don't believe me ;p). Additionally, for some reason I rushed through my Indian lunch and ate to much bread so that I couldn't even finish once plate! Is it proper to forgo the utensils and just eat everything by scooping with bits of flat bread? Because that sure seemed like the most *delicious* way of eating. The food was not hot, this being Greenville, but it was still spicy and delicious. It was still difficult to waddle out of there. Finally, I am really really surprised that I only slept for 2 hours just now. Probably for the best that I just had a little nap and then just go to bed early later on, but man. I have no idea what I *am* going to be able to do tonight, as I am still quite braindead.

I guess I can watch house, and maybe a movie or something, hmmm :) Overall, except for the physical bits (I also really need to get one of my teeth filled) it was a very good day.
