Relief!
« on: August 21, 2005, 08:03:35 PM »
Ah yes!  This is how it feels to be done with my last paper for my MA AND to have my dissertation finished and reasy for submission.  Graduation is in March. 

SO. GLAD. IT'S. OVER.
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

congrats and a relief that it wasn't something as fruitless as this bird's paper:

Quote
Student's degree on Shearer

A Swedish student has received a masters degree - for a dissertation on Alan Shearer.

Jenny Lindstrom wrote her 32-page thesis on the Newcastle United striker, reports the Mirror.

Her essay, The King of Newcastle - Alan Shearer Is Above Football, earned her a Society and Media masters degree.

Jenny, 27, said: "The relationship between Alan Shearer and Newcastle is unique. He is the hero of a modern fairy tale."

32 pages isn't a dissertation!  Mine was 70 something.  Society and Media isn't a real degree.  Geesh..

like I said it's a relief


Edit to add : Isn't it tradition to remove and bury any scantally clad posters as an offering to the gods of dissertation... ;D

Oh, I can totally relate to how you feel, Kristi!  I wrote a 96 page dissertation for my MSc Marketing course in 2003 and I was NEVER so glad to have something leave my hands!  When do you find out your grade?
