hooray for real!

two days after it was due, I finally sent off my thesis proposal! I wish I'd started it earlier, because the most painful thing about it was trying to write about stuff I really didn't know. After I spoke with my advisor yesterday and he suggested big changes in organisation, it was actually a lot easier and more interesting. You'd think I'd have learnt by now that it's better to do things ahead of time... Now I just have to write a powerpoint presentation and try not to freak out over the fact that people are going to be asking me scary questions about this stuff next week... oh, and reading all those papers I cited but haven't read would help too, probably...
