surfacing

...aaaaand I'm back. Wow, that last post was terrifying. My steady descent into thesis-induced insanity (which Brian has commented on several times when he's caught me pacing or jumping up and down) was really obvious, even in my writing.

Anyway, the first draft of my last (loooonnng) chapter was handed in last night. I've spent the last month researching, tabulating, filling in spreadsheets, cutting and pasting quotes, synthesizing, writing and editing this chapter—my own original research. It was strenuous, but I am pleased with the final product, even if it's only a first draft. I have to get the introduction and conclusion done, and of course edit the whole whopping thing several times, but that shouldn't be so bad.

In my mind, the worst is over now.
