Done-ish

[forestofglory]

I turned in a draft of my thesis today. I thought I'd be happy to be done for a bit. However I'm not. Instead I'm anxious about what is next, and worrying about getting it back covered in red ink. I don't really have a timeline so I'm feeling a bit at sea. However R and I are planning to go out to ice cream tomorrow to celebrate, so that will be nice.

In the meantime while I'm waiting for comments I'm going to try to write every day. I'm planning for some of that writing to be here. So it would be helpful if people could suggest topics they'd like me to write about. That could be more of what I generally write, like stuff about my daily life or books I like. Or it could be more technical about stuff I study (ecology, sustainable agriculture, urban planning, history.) Or something else entirely.

Congratulations! I can understand why you'd be anxious and anticipating the next stage. I do feel that it is important to celebrate your accomplishments, however, so it's awesome to hear that you are going out for ice cream.

What will you be writing, other than posts for here? Are you getting a chance to read anything not related to your thesis? What is your daily life like at the moment?

I've never been easy with the feeling of done but waiting, even though much of what I've worked on has that. I'm impressed with your resolve to continue to write--I'm bad at it when I'm not under pressure to do so.

I'd be interested in knowing more about what you study or about things related to what you study (but not what you study) that strike you in the news or wandering about the internet.
