I finished a piece of writing for my thesis that was sent to my advisers at 6:00 this morning. Most of it was composed after midnight, which says something about my skills as a writer - I'm just not sure what.
Oddly, they were expecting a piece on pin beaters, even though I'd only looked at a few from two archaeological sites. I'm fairly certain that is not enough information to make any sort of definitive statement about them. I chose to write on my preliminary findings from a questionnaire I devised for other people that work on the warp weighted loom instead, as that is a topic I have been thinking about for 10 or so years, so have a bit more to say even though there are only twenty one returned surveys at this point. (All right, 25, but some of those have yet to be read.)
Now I just have to wait until Monday for my panel to see if I will get an MPhil and be sent home, or can continue with the research for another two years. This week is gonna be a lot of fun, I can tell already.
