It's been a long time since I've drawn a picture for the Mim's PhD comic. I guess I haven't really wanted to face the reality of my slowly encroaching thesis deadline. However, as I passed my 2-years-as-a-PhD-student anniversary a few days ago, I started to panic at the fact that I now have only one year left in which to produce a thesis. Gulp.

As a result of this epiphany, my study companion, the thesis monster, has returned.

Up until now the thesis monster hadn't given me too much trouble. I haven't really experienced a proper thesis monster visitation since I submitted my honours thesis (although there was a great gaping thesis monster shaped hole in my life for a while afterwards). I guess a deadline a couple of years away just didn't cause enough panic. Now that it's suddenly less than a year away, he's back, and looming over my bed when I'm trying to sleep, reminding me that I haven't done as much writing as I should have, and harrassing me to get up and work through the wee hours of the night. =_=

Some therapeutic comic drawing will most likely be in order and I just wanted to give everyone a bit of forewarning that the Mim's PhD comic is probably going to undergo quite an expansion over the next 12 months. Sigh.

Wish me luck.
