I have been one stressed out person these past couple of weeks. Whenever people ask me about my thesis, it's like "well, ok, i guess" (while in my head I'm going "it's all crap, it's all crap, it's all crap"). Obviously it isn't all crap, but there's that ever present feeling I have that some step I did somewhere along the way isn't right and it'll all fall apart. Man, I'm paranoid.
Thanks to M for putting up with me. Hopefully soon it'll all be over and I can go back to just playing around with math things, not worrying whether everything will work out. On the plus side, I have 60 pages! 60!
Amusingly, the thing of which I am most proud in the whole work is the pretty pictures (diagrams). Here's a lovely LaTeX package for making such diagrams if you are so inclined.

Oh boo -- I'm sorry I was one of those people naively asking about the thesis when clearly you would be stressed about it. And the paranoia is understandable, if annoyingly hard to get rid of.
Hopefully the pretty pictures will get you a gold star from your profs.

You know what you should do if you need to fill out your thesis a bit? You should find a way to work your vegetable into it. The one from cs130.
Something like:
'While some mathematicians may feel that category theoretical results are, for the most part, excessively complicated generalizations of a particular result with merely that particular application, it is the belief of the author that category theory is useful in understanding the bridges between various areas of math, and in the future category theoretic results will be as commonplace as peas and carrots.'

Just for the record. I think that category theory is excessively complicated... and that's a good reason to study it.
