Drafts

For the last few weeks, I've been working increasingly hard and long to get a draft of my thesis done. I've done so many analyses that didn't work, come to so many conclusions that turned out to be irrelevant or wrong, and agonised over some beautiful graphs that didn't actually show anything helpful.

Like those graphs. Beauty is ephemeral.

 But yesterday, a draft was done. I sent it off at about two and was out of the building by three thirty. Today I've been working on fiddly formatting and referencing bits, satisfyingly monotonous admin that requires very little thinking, and it has been great. The end is near!
