Got an email from the graduate director that if I want to continue my appointment here at Princeton past September, I have to have a first draft of my thesis in hand by September. 2002.

Good Lord.

Nothing like a swift kick in the ass... get ready to ride the rails, Arafel... O_O

Guess this puts a term limit on how long I can poke around here. Which, all things considered, might not be a bad thing.

Nothing like a clear cut deadline, and the stress of trying to meet it, to give you the motivation to get things done! lol I hope things go well with you in writing it! Any idea on what you are doing it on?

Sounds like this pain in your ass will end sooner than you thought! They don't screw around in your department, do they? Wowie.

How many more experiments to go before you can start writing? (Or can you start now?)

So what all does a thesis involve? When would the final draft be required to be done? End of next year? Perhaps buying people some jade--I don't know, anyone (no one in particular) might bring you the good luck you need to finish it. =P

Ano... Good luck with that. I'm sure it will be a lot of work...

Good luck, Arafel! I'm sure your thesis will be great.

Oh, and if you do get a heard attack, take some of these *hands Arafel some Bayer Aspirin.* They can save your life during a heart attack!

That was certainly a decisive dead line...

I hope you can do it, I have a feeling you've got enough material to put in there, it's "just" the write up which is missing. You may not need more than 3-4 months to write a first draft and that means you have some more months to complete the experiments, but that certainly was a tight limit given you pretty suddenly.
