idle foreboding.

it's occurred to me that i won't be doing any "new" math for a while. i hope that soon all these job applications will be done, but after that is writing a thesis ..

      .. which i am looking forward to doing,
      if only because i want to see this thing through
.

but this thesis will consist of ideas that i've already thought about, and the proofs won't be new in spirit. instead, they will be codified with as much rigor as i (and the committee) can tolerate.

oh well. i guess i'm whining. i mean, do i want a ph.d. or not? \:
