Done and done

So IT is done .... and thank god !!! If this is how much the first year report takes out of me I dread to think what the thesis is going to do :-) In a caffeine fueled fit of silliness I thought I would document my working conditions:

Anatomy of a PHD deadline )

And I hate to be the person to tell you that your report is called "Title"

I hope that isn't the final draft...

I was about to say the same.

A couple of other points, have you acknowledged the source of the WMAP dark energy, dark matter, baryons diagram?

Also I see you write as "I", I tend not to do that, but that's just me. I think "I" sounds arrogant.

Not that your examiners will care about the person you write a report in.

Yeah it occurred to me after that I had not referenced that I dont think it will matter to much. As for the "I" stuff I only use it at the end when I am more reporting what I have done/will do. I didnt think that bit was supposed to be as formal, everything else is written as "we". Yeah figure it wont matter to much on the whole

Now now, you're not going to bind it too, like Matt are ya?

They won't notice you haven't acknlowledged data sets and I wrote my report in the first person - it's very much *my* science, to hell with this politeness stuff. :) (and we were told for masters project that it's actually fine to do that in this day and age)

I'm not going to read your report (not until I have to write the background to my thesis when it will become incredibly useful!) but it looks as pretty as any latex document has the obligation to look ;)

OOH! Trieste is supposed to be very pretty. Sarah (who you met in Devon) was at ICTP there last week for a few days for a quantum mechanics conference. She said that it's stunning. Have fun!
