Right now I have almost 45 pages of thesis written, and ideally I will write a few more pages tonight. I think this is pretty reasonable progress, considering that I had (or thought I had- somehow the number of pages I've added isn't quite enough to get me to where all the numbers add up to now, so I guess I just wasn't counting right before) about 30 pages as of Tuesday. This doesn't include several pages of literature review that I will probably need to rewrite significantly. So another day's work and I should be pretty ok as far as minimum length requirements go, and will just need to figure out what else on my outline I really need to cover, and how to work with it best, and then how to weave it all together and create a conclusion that makes an interesting point that I haven't already made. Doing some further analytic work would be good though: my advisor should be getting me some more materials on social network theory that should help with that. So I'm feeling a bit better about the thing in general and am thinking that I'll probably at least try to get this thing ready for a defense and see if I can make this work. At this point, it seems sort of doable- busy, but maybe actually doable. I'll probably think differently tomorrow morning, but well, a moment of hope is better than none...

I wouldn't bother posting this, except for my real fondness for Rimsky-Korsakov in general...
 | If I were a Dead Russian Composer, I would be Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. Considered the leader of the 19th Century Composer group "The Mighty Handful," I am indeed the teacher among them. My orchestration skills are superbly colorful, and are explained in my book on the topic, but works like "Scheherezade" explain my mastery better. Who would you be?
