it's about 1 1/2 years since i first submitted my thesis, 1 1/4 years since the defense, 10 months since finishing the corrections, and guess what, i'm still working on the big thesis paper. 'still' is probably a bit misleading though: i opened the document today and saw that i haven't modified it since july. since the day before graduation in fact. wow!! (i have looked at it though, i have a printed copy and it's full of scribbles and thoughts etc.) i spent considerable time thinking about it, shame that that is not visible in words and well-phrased sentences and paragraphs in the document. why is writing so horrible?!?
for excuses, i have an expedition, two cruises, a new job and a move to a different country, unbloggable issues, and well, it's paper writing, that's explanation enough for any delay...
also, in the meantime, plans for three (!!) manuscripts have started developing (plus one that would be really cool to write, about stuff i do beside my real job and totally not natural sciences :) ). i really have to get my ass into gear and JUST WRITE!
