hours of the day, and night.

i lost my nerve again, which explains why i'm up and still LaTeXing.

earlier this morning i jotted down some notes for two of the three final theorems that i'll add to my thesis. i think i've vowed that these will be the final ones.

after them will be an introduction, and if that is ever finished then the supervisor can look at the draft, dip it in red ink, and figuratively tear it to shreds.

i suspect that the draft won't be very good, so it's probably for the best.

in the afternoon, i stopped by the office to continue to work. i was discovered, however, by colleagues. sometimes i wonder if they lie in wait, only to be disappointed more days than not.

i guess i am hard to find.

at any rate, this encounter led to a coffee, pleasant mathematical conversation, and korean food for dinner.

then i called another colleague and chatted for a bit.

all good times.

it wasn't until i went home at midnight that i counted the hours, decided that i did too little, and succumbed to paranoia. so now you have it: why i was just LaTeXing five minutes ago ..

.. and why i'm blogging now.

it will be a good day when the thesis is done and the defense is done. then i can worry about looking ridiculous while giving conference talks in front of peers! q:

addendum @ 4:30am: finally. one theorem down (albeit with a less than stellar exposition) and two theorems to go!
