How this thesis is coming together is interesting. I'm not stressed. I'm not anxious [except to present my work in front of my father this time]. I think I'm more surprised than anything else. It hasn't been difficult, but it hasn't been easy either. Instead the process I've developed has proven to be rich with meaning, reference, personal opinion, poetics, and texture. What I can say is that it has been quite successful so far in expressing the goals of the thesis. And that makes me happy.
