Goodbye Thesis!!!
Well, I survived the writing of my thesis!
(And Amy...I didn't even make any inappropriate remarks to Borders' employees this time! How did that go: "YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND THAT'S WHY YOU POUR COFFEE FOR A LIVING!"....Not one of my finer moments. )
At about 3:30 on Friday afternoon, I made the rounds and passed out the ginormous document and then stuck one in a FedEx envelope to send to my dear advisor...who may or may not actually read the thing. Ginger has very accurately described the graduation process as a triathlon. I feel like I have completed the running portion of the event...now begins the swimming. Luckily this all timed out well...I turned in my thesis...now my 2 volleyball leagues start back up over the next two weeks and I have to start back at getting this paper submitted, finding a post-doc, preparing my defense presentation, and studying for all those stupid questions they're gonna ask me.

hey - i don't know if i liked your "YOU'RE AN IDIOT AND THAT'S WHY YOU POUR COFFEE FOR A LIVING" comment. this might be my last comment on the hokie blog. there are lots of good peeps out there that work at starbucks or borders. they aren't idiots. you never know when you have to take a job like that at some point in your life.
