First "complete" thesis rough draft!

[terriko]

I sent my first "complete" thesis draft to my supervisor last night. The quotes around complete are because actually, we thought of another segment to put in, and while I've roughed it out there, it's current really sketchy because I need to do some (hopefully brief) experimentation to go with it. Even with the caveats, though... woo! progress!

What this means for all of you is that for the next few weeks, I'll be super busy in fits and starts, sometimes doing nothing but thesis, and sometimes doing anything but for a day or two while I wait for my supervisor to finish an edit. Basically, if you don't get an answer from me right away, you may not get one at all as my entire working memory is probably going to get overwritten every few days.

Is the thesis, or the "complete" draft for it anyway, available somewhere where those of us who're curious may read it ?

Uh... heck no? This is still rough work, including stuff that hasn't yet been peer reviewed or published, and some that is actually still under review that I'm encouraged/required to keep private under the double blind rules. I can't think of any reason that putting 160+ pages of unedited document including my unpublished research notes up would be even remotely a good idea for my future research career or personal mental health, and I'm kinda appalled that you'd even suggest it.

It will be available once it's actually edited and published, likely not before September.
