Thesis writing

As viciously difficult as doing mathematical research, I think some of the hardest part is looking for and reading articles and then writing introductions to papers. I have been working on an introduction to a paper that I have been writing for a while. It is soooo hard. It sounds like it should be the easiest part, but not for me.

I think I can see the end though. I hope that I'll have it written this weekend...then I move into the actual thesis writing.

New Computer

I have a new computer. It seems neglectful to not blog about this new computer. It is from Dell: Vostro v130. It is super thin and light, which is why I picked out this one. So far it is treating me well. Although I have not toted it around anywhere yet, it certainly appears like it will be much more portable than any other computer I have had. Also, it is not a 10in so the screen is not super time (the screen is 13in).

Have a look:

Fingers crossed that this computer brings good vibes for my thesis.

Busy times

In 2011, I am really hoping to finish my thesis. This is all well and good to say, but I actually have quite a bit of work to do and not a lot of time to do it. So the pressure is on. This pressure is really overwhelming. Neil works well under pressure, actually, sometimes it seems like he only works under pressure. But, the time is now. There are some job postings that sound really exciting, so I have to finish to have a chance at these jobs. Of course, actually getting one of these jobs is a completely different story.

Anyway, that's enough of a break. I have to keep my eye on the prize and get down to work.
