PD-Day, T -2 months and counting.

[willowroot]

In two months, on December 14th, in the early afternoon, I will present the public defense of my dissertation. If you can read this, basically, you're all invited to come--it is a public event for a reason (although I do ask that you leave your airhorns at home). Specifics forthcoming.

What I have left to do before then:

Finish 4 de novo chapters of my written document. Three of them are non-data chapters.
Adapt the 3 chapters already written (formatting, inclusion of extra bits of data).
Write 3 appendices (the projects which never quite got off the ground).
Not go nuts.
Figure out which particular projects I want to highlight in the defense.
Not become a stranger to my daughter or my wife.

Right. Back to work.

I might suggest starting with "Not go nuts." If you achieve that, the rest should be easy.

What do you think about vuvuzelas?
