Rules and regulations

[onefixedstar]

I took a break this morning from actually writing my thesis to look up the thesis regulations as set by the Graduate Studies Office. My excuse was that I needed to familiarize myself with the regulations in order to build a document template for my thesis, which will enable me avoid having to reformat the entire thing at the end. I now have a lovely title page--sans title--along with an author's declaration and a borrower's page. I decided to save the acknowledgments page for the next time I need a break. I've also got a new template that covers everything I'll need to do...I hope. Fortunately, my thesis is going to be solid text: no graphs, no charts, no formulas, and no illustrations, which ought to make the formatting easier.

I'll be spending my afternoon trying to generate a good model for categorizing theories of community. Wheeeeee!
