Diary of a Thesising Senior, post-orals
I did it! I somehow mounted what Nigel termed an "excellent defense" of my thesis while feeling like total crap. I was feeling so nauseous that I was petrified I might have to make an undignified exit during the event. That would have been so lovely. I was trying not to watch my professors eat the food I brought or even think about food the whole ( Read more... ) -
Diary of a thesising senior, pre-orals
Gotta love the Chinese fire drill. Nothing ever goes to plan on the big day. I discovered that I forgot to buy disposable cups for my orals board last night. I also seem to have a bit of an upset stomach this morning, which is just PEACHY on the day of my orals. I know it's not nerves. I'm not nervous. I'm excited to defend my thesis. So here we go ( Read more... ) -
Save the cheerleader! Save the world!
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to get flak for this, but I checked out the tv cheerleading drama Hellcats the other day, and I totally like it. It doesn't take itself seriously at all and it somehow manages to average a genuine laugh-out-loud moment every episode. The two leads Aly Michalka and Ashley Tisdale are easy on the eyes and respectable in the ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So I finally bit the bullet and broke up with Sarah tonight. I was expecting some kind of tramatizing, cringe-inducing scene but Sarah was like "meh, okay." I like was "wait, seriously?" We somehow blundered out of this hot mess in an amicable fashion? I was totally not expecting that ( Read more... ) -
Diary of a Thesising Senior, thesis parade
That was...an experience. I was looking forward to experiencing thesis parade as a senior, but I ended up just reminded why I dislike crowds of people. It was cold and raining and I was shoved around helplessly by the crowd. I nearly got trampled trying to burn my thesis draft. I ran into Angela, who was there to party or something, and she looked ( Read more... ) -
Diary of a Thesising Senior, week 26
I turned in my thesis this morning with a minimum amount of fuss, just in time to wear my laurels to my 10am class. I am the happiest person in the world right now. I adore how all these people I don't know and have never seen before stop to say congratulations. I've been so happy I want to cry all day ( Read more... ) -

Diary of a Thesising Senior, week 25 part le deux
I'm in a happy place. I made Alex read my thesis yesterday. Alongside being quite amusing, she came up with a number of good suggestions. I now am in the process of reviewing my thesis for the last time and making final edits. I got about halfway through the task before getting sick of the library, so I'll finish tomorrow night. Tuesday night will ( Read more... ) -
Diary of a Thesising Senior, week 25
My battle with my thesis continues. I refuse to capitulate until my thesis has reached 50 pages. I'm getting there slowly, painfully slowly. I'm determined to have it ready for Alex to beta-read by Saturday. Hopefully she can provide amusing and/or useful suggestions on how to improve my time-eating black hole of a scholastic monstrocity. After ( Read more... )
