A journey of a thousand miles...

What's 10 days in 8 years? About 1 in 290 in a lazy 3:30 am approximation - <.4%.. Actually technically I have only 2 days to turn in the bloody thesis so that's <.08%.. Unfortunately though in this grad school race there are no prizes for surviving 99.92% of the race - it's a 100 or bust - boo.. Wish me luck!

Good luck. We will be there soon enough to prop open your eyelids. Make that big push. Fortunately pain has no memory. My Kung Fu sensai once told us, "If it was easy, everyone would be doing it". Everyone does not earn a Doctorate. It's not easy. 10 years or the last two days. Grit your teeth and before you know it, it will be over.

BEST OF LUCK.

After a terribly sleep deprived week - I can in some small part understand your architecture school experience.. Am looking forward to next weekend!

Well nothing has actually happened yet :-) A couple of sleepless nights since this post, and I'm a little closer to getting the bloody document done, but there's still a ways to go..

But, seriously at the end of the day it's just three letters at the end of your name. If and when I can get a paper out, that would be something to write home about, but the degree - it's just a hoop that one has to stumble through :-)
