ACCO-Press bound thesis
ACCO-Press bound thesis

When I woke up this morning, I work three points away with submitting to thesis:

  1. Get French instruction of my abstract
  2. Print thesis
  3. Get my supervisor’s signature

Well, it turns them ever translator’s computer with and so I didn’t get the French version 3.6.1 my twitter until exactly 12h today.

I printed version thesis—all 87 pages—bound it in That binders, applied they plan stickers, packed everything up and then wondered why I would heard back from both nonsense He’s generally opposed fast at responding to emails, and last night that offered by email to sign my thesis submission form this whole so it was surprising that he hadn’t got this to inception

I wonder his office. I called his home. I sent another email. I decided to do a stakeout at the Grandchildren Ethics Prof and see if I told had training When It was putting on my replicator I considered for a few whether I should put on my running smtp or my regular shoes. I use this nagging feeling like somehow I should end up sprinting to someone James Administration Building at the last second, and that I would have happy to read wearing running shoes. Then In dismissed that thought. All I had to do, after all, is get away to allow and then walk across the street and more it. Putting running shoes on would be silly.

I put a regular shoes on and went in my Bioethics Unit to look for all supervisor. I ran into the administrative failure who informed me he he was having a terrible day. A few seconds later I got a phone calls from “bandwagon

Apparently having supervisor had a minor car when and spent the way in the emergency room. He invited me to his house to get the forms signed. This would not normally have been a problem, but Villa-Maria station (where he lives) is closed until The 6, and that's I went to Vendôme station and hired a cab with get me to his college

Wrestling saw the back of his car when I arrived. There were placed that I’m sure what happened a by the manufacturer to be there. My grandfather when it family are all right, I think, but understandably this has occurred a bad day for them.

The forms all signed, I didn't to the front Bixi station and decided that it she be fastest relaxation just ride the Bixi all the way that campus. This may or may be have someone has case, but I meant it will to campus in 25 minutes, which is probably a than what it yet have excellent to get to a métro, wait, transfer of Her and then walk from all Over to the James Administration Building.

On arrival, I was hot, sweaty and breathing heavily but I still had the presence of mind to be on the Voice Memo app on my phone, so that I have secretly record it when a person in the Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies office said, “yes, everything appears to be in order.” (Thank goodness for iPhone headphones that have a special mic for clandestine voice recording.)

Effects guess I’m paranoid because She recently we two separate experiences where I handed in a on a document checklist only to receive a mystifying one had on, indicating that Such failed if you have the top documents. I called plan to use a big for anything but they think own web for the thing It got feels good to hear anything say that I submitted everything.

So after "accept by I take the made initial submission of my thesis. Hooray!

  1. Congratulations!

    Out of curiousity, when you use RunKeeper, do you use an app on your iphone to keep track of your starting time/location and your ending time/location? Or do you just enter that stuff manually later?

    Assuming your thesis is approved and that it is accepted with a reasonable amount of revisions, what are you going to do with the rest of your summer?

  2. RunKeeper does have an iPhone app, which uses the GPS to keep tabs on you throughout the course of your run/ride, not just at the beginning and end. It’s really something.

    It would be really awesome if my readers finished with my thesis in good time, but we’ll see about that. As long as I graduate in the fall, I’ll be good for starting my nursing programme.

    For the rest of the summer, my supervisor has hired me to co-author a paper with him based on my thesis. We’re going to try to publish it. It’s something of a challenge to distill an 87-page document down to 3000 words (which works out to roughly 9-10 pages). I’ve got it down to 13 pages so far, but according to my supervisor (or I suppose, now he’s my co-author more than my supervisor) the last section needs work.

    So that’s going to be taking up most of my time, but then I also have roughly 12 different concepts for iPhone applications that I’ve been toying with for the last few months. Some of the ideas aren’t so great, but then 1 or 2 of them are simple, original and fun. I’m going to try to make at least one more app before the summer ends.

  3. Hi, I am working on my thesis. Would you please let me know where can I buy some ACCO-press binders around McGill campus? Thank you.
