Shift
There will be a shift in my priorities over the next few days. I finally got all of the page breaks sorted out. It took an entire day to deal with. In a lot of cases, I would try and try and try to just shave off a millimetre or half a millimetre anywhere I could, all in the hopes of getting an equation to appear on the previous page...but it would never get there. Instead, I would end up removing all such space-saving statements and try to add in extra spaces so that it filled the entire page. Of course, all of this effort may have been useless, depending on how many comments my supervisor is going to throw back at me early next week, which could mean a whole lot more changes. Hopefully, that won't be the case, as we are aiming to submit next week.
So...this has given me a few days to look at something _other_ than my thesis, which should be good. Instead of focussing on consistency, I'll be focussing on cleaning - my desk, that is. It is a real mess at the moment, covered in drafts of chapters. Plus, I've heard that we have to shift offices soon, so that will be good preparation. I also hope to devote some time to my career, applying for jobs, etc. which I have been neglecting for the past few weeks.
I started at UWA in 1997, completing a Diploma in Modern Languages (Italian) in 1999. By 2001, I had completed a Bachelor of Computing and Mathematics degree with Honours. In 2002, I worked part-time in the Department of Mathematics and Statistics. From 2003 to 2007, I studied for the qualification of PhD in Electrical Engineering at the Western Australian Telecommunications Research Institute (WATRI). My thesis title is "On A Posteriori Probability Decoding of Linear
Block Codes over Discrete Channels", and it is currently under examination.
