Fly Away Little Thesis

First off, an apology to what few loyal readers I've got left for the lack of posts lately.  I've been doing the thesis tango with my advisors and a whole lotta caffeine.  That means I'm grumpy, tired and all sorts of not into writing blog posts.  However:

I've sent Thesis v1.25b to the advisors.  I think I'm going to end up turning in version 1.4 or so.  There is a mild danger that v1.25b will need to become v2.0 (Summer edition).  I'm not too distressed by that - it was my original intention to turn the blasted thing in in the summer, but it's still to be determined what will happen to my summer gig if I don't have MA in hand.

And a couple of notes to the students in my sections:

I'll help you, but I'm not going to do it for you.  (Seriously, I should get this stitched on a pillow.)

Yes, well, you should have noticed that you weren't enrolled in the class sometime before week 9.

Yes, perhaps it would have been a good idea to write that paper and turn it in instead of... not.

Everyone gets busy. There's no need to apologize to the loyal readers you still have left. Both of us understand. ;)

And if you're on 1.25 out of 1.4, then that's only .15 away from being done! .15 isn't that much, really.

yeah, you know, the thing is that if I get this screwed up for an MA thesis, I'm going to be a basket case for a dissertation...

by the way, does this mean that my two remaining readers are sheepish and sheepish? :)

It's sort of like "my brother Darryl and my other brother Darryl."
