Progress

My thesis progress graph (single-spaced pages). What is that plateau?

My Defense Poem

If these shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumber'd here
While these visions did appear.
And this weak and idle theme
No more yielding but a dream.
Gentles, do not reprehend:
If you pardon, I will mend.
Thus my thesis I defend,
For now I have come to the end.

(Deep apologies to W.S. and basically everyone involved)

Didja know?

Tolkien disliked allegory.
