Thesis Writing's Eve

(Day -1) Today marks the eve of my epic adventure called "SOCI 599: Thesis." Sounds romantic I know. I am not totally sure what to do with myself on this Thesis Writing's Eve. Sometimes eves are celebrated with excited anticipation (see Christmas Eve) and sometimes they are celebrated as a party all on their own (see Halloween, New Years). So do I celebrate tonight in anticipation, is the commencement itself the "party" or should I get dressed up in costume and go door to door for candy/bibliographical references?

Now, although the very beginning is being hyped up a bit, I do still have marking to do. This is key though to how my first day will go. The marking is first year marking, along the lines of "Marx said this...and then Weber said this, and then, and then.... and in conclusion, social inequality is bad." I have a feeling marking these will make my first few days of thesis writing, Master's Thesis writing, a bit of a...ummm......a...well I can't think of the word.....blast! The intellectual decline has started already. I will likely be writing at the level of an eleventh grader (to average the difference between us) to start out. Maybe this is a good thing, it will make my thesis more accessible for the everyman. It will be gooder...ugh...I'll stop here
