Congratulations. You're writing a thesis. No one in the entire history of the world before you has ever written one, so I can see why you would want to announce it.
Secondly, there is far too much case law on the matter to debate this on an intellectual/informed level with you. So let's just call it a day and conclude how very smartified you are since you are, after all, writing a thesis. (shock. gasp.)
