with as many grad students as there are walkin’ the walk, and getting the diploma this year, I’m surprised more fights haven’t broken out around the printer.

the first time I’ve run into someone was tonight, when adam was printing out his thesis. But his is shorter than mine, and he was in the middle of it just before I began.

and trust me, if you’re printing of 4 copies of 227 pages a pop(don’t worry, I brought my own paper), you don’t want to either interrupt anyone wanting to use the printer, or have anyone screaming at you while your stuff is still printing out.

I also checked the price of the paper they want us to buy for one of the final copies….$25 for 500 sheets. And it’s gotta be bound in a spiral binder of some sort.

on the plus side, I finally slapped around MS word into accepting formatting for the thesis. good times.

and handed in. I’m so happy.

as well, the thesis is in the draft that it is more or less done. I don’t know why, but I love using the ellipses. I do. And that is something that I’ve got to stop using in my fiction. Works fine on the blog, because it’s closer to how I talk/think, but the thesis? Eh.

I’m also scheduling the oral defense of the thesis(April 21st)…works so far for 3 people, haven’t heard back from the 4th yet.

I’m so close that I can taste…no, never mind. that’s the coffee.

mmm….coffee….

after two months of unbirthdays, today is finally Sue’s real birthday.
