First things first...I have a job...and have so far successfully planned a wedding for June (both big accomplishments). Now, if I could just finish this thesis and get that degree...
I can't help but feel a bit of Senioritis as the semester races towards a finish. I also can't help but feel a tremendous "Oh crap" as I think about all the work left to do on my thesis. I know I'm not along and we MLoggers could start a support group for this pre-graduation tramatic stress, but that would take valuable time away from work.
I've realized that it will be a balancing act, up until the very end. Can I take new classes in the second half of this semester and still get my thesis done? Part of me wants more time, while the smarter part of me wants to finish up soon and start making some bling, bling $$.
The Spring Break was a great chance for a breather and to get caught up on things, such as getting back to where I should have been on the thesis before Spring Break started. For prospective students, get started on your thesis early. This may mean working a bit harder in the fall than you like, but if you really think you will be efficient during Christmas Break and IAP (when the ZLog students are visiting Cambridge) you are probably wrong. As spring in Boston becomes a reality, the motivation to be in the MLog lab or classroom working on a thesis topic, that has long ago lost its luster, melts away like the ice on the Charles.
Best of luck to all the MLoggers that are in the same boat that I am...you know, the one with the hole in it.
Cheers
Josh
I'm with you, Josh!!!
