I have a well established history of making elaborate plans to get things done during breaks, and then not doing any of it.  This is no longer acceptable.  I’ve already witnessed my not-quite-good-enough efforts at researching over the last week, since I defended my thesis on Monday the 27th.  But I need to hit the ground running when I arrive at OSU in September, and I need to spend the next four months nurturing pro-active positive research habits, and familiarizing myself with some important work.  This is all the more pressing, since I’ve only got two years left of taking classes; after that, everything is self-motivated; after the spring of 2011, the beginning and end of semesters will only be relevant to my teaching responsibilities, and nearly entirely immaterial to my research.  The next four months offer the best opportunity to foster a 9-5, iron clad research schedule that will serve me well when publishing and thesis work become key.

I’ve uploaded my master’s thesis onto the Paper’s page.  I don’t think that the final product is actually my best work (”Two-Dimensions” is probably the best work I’ve done to date) but writing it was definitely a rewarding experience.
