I just finished the first chapter of my thesis. This hasn't been an easy process. Just ask the people I share a hall with. They walk past and glance in, usually just to see me sitting/laying on the floor, trying to organize peices of paper in an order that will eventually be completely re-ordered. Several have compared me to John Nash, Russell Crowe's character from A Beautiful Mind. I don't argue with them. The chapter draft is due on Wednesday. I'm done 4 days early ;)
