Jesse, what's the subject of your thesis?
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Um, visit Israel. Right?
I think I have too many things I want to do in the too little time I have off from school. (Oh, that reminds me, I wanted to look into Hebrew classes at the JCC. I want to get my Hebrew skills up to some level beyond "Can recognise the names of foods on restaurant signs, and occaisionally pick up bits and pieces of other peoples' conversations," which is where I was when I was in Israel last summer.)
Wow, that's an evil hour.
Yes it is. Nothing should require brainpower before 9 at the earliest.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'll start by talking to the landlord. Maybe the threat of being reported will work.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesse, what's the subject of your thesis?
Well, it's not actually a traditional thesis, but that's easier to say. I'm doing a project for a client, a nonprofit social service agency, about client and program data collection and management. So I'm (trying to) survey other organizations about what they do, and look at some of the commercial products available, and the needs of the organization, and then I'll make some recommendations about what they should do.

Especially on a Monday. My roommate just had to take an exam on 8:30 yesterday (Sunday is the Israeli Monday). That's just evil.

Now I want to sit and chat with you in Hebrew.
Jesse, does it mean that your project/thesis will actually have some implementation, not just stay theoretical? Because that's great. Also, it reads like it demands a whole set of skills, so it looks like it would really put what you're learning into use, right? Go you.

Yeah, that's the plan. Of course, the client can choose to ignore my recommendations, but still. My program is all about "theory and practice," so everything we do is very hands on. It's my favorite thing about the program, since really I'm a practicitioner, not an academic.

More on GA: I think that Mere's dad must be equally distant etc because otherwise -- wouldn't he have managed to see his daughter? He was in the same damn city!

I think I can get where you're coming from. Part of the reason I chose both topics, to my Masters' (traffic) and now (networks) is how they may have practical applications and not just remain in the halls of the academia.
