my thesis is just around the corner. ten thousand words due in very early May. i have written nothing; i have researched nothing. i float on a bed of music knowing that, one way or another, i will end up somewhere; a place where i need to be.

except i want to be more considerate with my dissertation. i'm going to be writing something relating to the discourse on intersex folks in a particular setting, and i want to take some pride in talking about that community.

i hear a lot from folks that i'm immature for this way of thinking, though i know what i need, and what i need is not what they need.

i wish you luck either way. what is your piece about?

I'm writing about elliptic curves, these are mathematical objects very relevant in number theory.

Writing the thesis feels like trying to repeat what seems very well known (I'm biased, spending 3-4 years learning about it makes it feel it is well-known).

And I'm not sure if I'm writing the ideas in the "right" order, with enough detail, ... I'm very unsatisfied with my writing.
