Stick a fork in me

I'm done.

Final corrections have been made. Dangling participles have been undangled. Split infinitives have been spliced into proper formation. My supervisor says, Well structured and, You probably don't suck (I paraphrase).

File has been saved as .pdf to stop it repaginating every time I so much as think about it. There are five illustrations, sixty-one pages, and one hundred and thirty-two footnotes. And all that remains is to get three copies printed and bound.

I am done.

It's weird. When I hand this in, I will have offically completed 65% of the work required for my degree. And assuming I get a reasonable mark for it (the amount of work I put in, I damn well hope I get a II.1), I'd have to fail my exams outright not to graduate with an honours degree.

That's strangely reassuring. Because I might still fuck things up? But I have yet to actually fail an exam to which I have shown up.

It's so weird not to have a thesis to do anymore. I think I'm going to take until Thursday to get used to this, before I start fretting about the Next Thing.

I am full of joy and pride!

Thank you.

I'm empty, I think. I don't know what to feel yet. Except trepidation: if I let anyone know I'm finished a week in advance of the deadline, I'm liable to be lynched and burned alive. :P

I'm frelling! (which means the same thing as txanne said). Good onya! Empty is about right -- you've just poured your brains onto your thesis for quite some time. You'll fill right back up, don't worry. ;-)

Congratulations!

As somebody who never managed to finish a thesis, I'm full of envy and admiration. Good luck with the rest of it!

Belated super!congrats! :)

It is Thursday (at least where you are - and most of North America, too) are you used to it yet?

[hawkwing-lb.livejournal.com]

Thanks.

I am getting that way. I'm planning exam prep now, so I guess I have to be. :P
