well that’s a bit of a let down

I have a complete draft of my thesis. It is decidedly a draft – there’s a great deal of editing to be done in the next few weeks – but it is done. And I don’t feel a great sense of relief, or joy. Its just one more thing that I can check off right now. I wish I were enjoying the process more, but something minor happened a few weeks ago – that I don’t want to get into – that really just made this something to finish rather than enjoy. I’m sure that once I have all the work done, I’ll be happy again, but between this and the crazy hours I’m working this month, there’s no joy in mudville.
On S’s suggestion I’m taking another of Tania’s bellydancing classes and that is definitely helping. I’m getting out of the house, being active and doing something for myself. All work and no play et al…
But I’m going to hand in my conclusion, burn a disk with everything on it, and go watch cheesy sf tv shows. So love watching shows on DVD. None of the having to plan when I’m sitting down, no commercials and I can stop watching to harass the cat whenever I like.

Congrats on a full draft!

Bellydancing, eh? Hmmm... sounds like fun!

You've finished your first draft! That's great!

Thanks guys. Burning the copy and having a disk was kinda neat, although I suspect that when I have a printed and bound copy there will be a lot of giggling.

And yes, the belly dancing is actually just up the street - I'll let you know when the next session starts if you'd like.
