Goodbye thesis. Don’t suck!
I printed my thesis yesterday. Here it is:
It’s not as boring and grey as it looks. Here’s a close-up view of the cover:
OK. So tomorrow, I will find a big box and send the thing off.
I thought of having a party to celebrate, maybe with Hawaiian pizza, but actually I’m not sure if I want to. The thing is, I’m glad that I sent off my thesis on time, but the whole ‘having a PhD’ thing just doesn’t seem like something that needs to me celebrated. It won’t get me a decent job. It won’t get me respect from the people at work. All it will get me is a stupid hat, and even that will be a one-night rental. I’m so over it.
Maybe I will order pizza and spend the evening working on potential publications. That sounds…. fun.

Hey, that’s great news Mark-us. Considering how much effort and energy and sheer bloody hard work you put into the thesis even if you don’t feel like celebrating maybe a hawaiian pizza to commemorate finishing it would be a good thing?

Congratulations! Some hawaiian pizza and ukulele playing are definitely in order!
Eddie says “rock on dude! Bust out the tiki torches!”

Nails - I’m not in the mood for fun. Obviously.
Lucy - Thanks and yeah, copious quantities of pizza will be had.
Julia - I guess I’m not feeling the enthusiasm, but if Eddy says tiki torches are in order it’s hard to say no :)

Having a post-thesis life crisis?
I’d say go out and get drunk but they just showed drunken Perthians on the tv and, well, I’d be reluctant too. Stay home and get drunk? Should we chip in for a hooker or something?

Don’t tell anybody but I’m totally grooving to some old Goldfrapp mp3s in my crib rite now. I’m not that depressed. As for hos, that’s not how I roll.

congratufuckinglations on sending off your baby. now you can get on to real life, like getting a sweet band together and rocking out like nobody’s bizniz, or inventing something that everyone needs and becoming a millionaire, or getting a government job and working 9-5.
despite that, a big good onyer!

You’d be so awkward just talking to a hooker. It’d be hilarious.

No way. I’d be all like “here’s some money so lets have some super-hot sex, OK?” I would also be holding a martini.

That would be shaken and not stirred, right…?

Oh my, blacking out our eyes like that makes that picture look so much dodgier than it is.
That’s a lot of paper! Hope you ace it.
