Here it is
It is strange to finally be on this final step. I sit here with the beginnings of my dissertation in front of me. I have a lot of graphs, and a lot of skeletal descriptions of things. There are many parts that need many more details.
While this is somewhat imposing, that isn't what I wanted to discuss. I want to discuss how easy it is to get caught up in the code, and the experiments, and making graphs and all of these things. But all that is useless unless you can clearly describe to other people in written word why any of this is important. Here is the document with which I am supposed to do just that.
There are a lot of ideas floating in my head right now. Many things I know I need to get down into that document. I'm getting very close, yet, I still have probably one of the harder tasks left. It is finally completely in my hands, and now it is the time for me to step up and do it. Three weeks from tomorrow is the defense... three weeks and four days of this dissertation consuming me. The final push is the hardest, but it is necessary for me to do what I've always dreamed of doing: having a PhD.
Wish me luck...
