(Not with a bang but a drinking.)
I think I kind of finished my dissertation. How weird is that? (See, I'm practising to be Australian).
I have to cut 8000 words, and make a few changes to the formatting, and there's a few extra things I could change if I'm enough of a perfectionist to care, but right now the bottle and a half of red wine that a friend and I just shared in celebration says don't bother.
I could hand it in as it is and I think it would be good enough.
How bizarre.
(PS: Flight of the Conchords is extra funny when you're durnk.)

Wow! wow. Wow! Does this mean there is such a thing as graduation????? Wow.
Super!
Congratulations!!! Yay, you!
I'm doing my party dance for you...too bad you can't see it...perhaps I'll you tube it for you?!?
Yay! I think mine ended with a nice nap, but drinking sounds better. Congratulations!
Hip hip hooray! I am so proud and exicted for you!
Now, exactly how does one go about getting durnk? I'd like to try it. okthxbye.
oooh ... new epi of FOTC tonight! Course, won't be able to "obtain" it till monday or tuesday, but still.
Woo hoo!! Congratulations, and drink some more for me! (On second thought, I'll drink it myself and toast you.)
Congrats! YAY! Way to go!
Does this make you Doctor Geek?
yay! That's fantastic. Congratulations on making it to this point.
Congratulations!!! Wonderful!!!
Isn't it strange how quietly you realize--- hey, it exists?
Hurrah!
Wow!! Congrats!!
Congratulations! You rock. :)
Blogger clearly recognises your new status; my word verification is "weimphdj".
Carine, the best thing about it is, we don't have a defence. Woohoo!
Twirly, I want to see your dance!
EA, I still don't believe in graduation. There's a long way to go before then, anyway. First I have to hand in an "intention to submit" form, with my official submission date, that has to be at least two months from the day I had it in (so maybe should have done that already).
Then I have to hand the thesis to my committee, who read it and give me feedback.
Then I make the revisions they require and submit it for realz.
Then my external examiners have up to a year to read it and submit their readers' reports.
Then I have to make any revisions they suggest.
Then I can graduate. Best case scenario, next July.
So I won't be Doctor Geek for a long time yet.
Holy cow! That's terrific. Weird how it just sneaks up on you like that. I know I'll get drunk when I finish mine too. Hope the hangover isn't too bad...
CONGRATS to YOU! How exciting! Do something fun and relaxing to celebrate your milestone!
btw- I love Flight of the Conchords, too- I will be sure to have some wine before I watch it tonight.
No defence. Blah, young people are getting soft these days. In my day they grilled me for five hours. Over a slow charcoal fire!!!! and after gravel for breakfast.
congrats!!! you rock dr. styley!
see, i think the flappys came back to celebrate the occasion!
Congratulations!
What are you going to do with all the TIME you'll suddenly have?
Time? What's that?
I figure first I'll proofread the thesis a bit, then I'll write some lectures, then I might jump headfirst into teaching all the classes I have lined up to start next week.
*gulp*
Styley, that is wonderful news!! Well done :-D
Heavens to Betsy Styley, I had no idea the path to graduation was so twisty, windy!! Yikes!
Congratulations! It's nice to know that people do finish!
It gives me hope.
(Sorry this is late) -- WOO HOOO!!!! That's great! Hope the cutting and editing etc. is going well. Maaahvelous!!!
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
