the white light of desire

So evidently the feeling you get when you finally print out all 109 pages of your thesis draft is...anti-climax. Maybe it's because my appleworks-cum-word document was being an absolute pain in the ass ((oh, where'd this indented quote go? off the imaginary margin of the screen!)), or maybe it's because the intro and conclusion are nowhere near as good as the rest of it is, but there it is, denouement and a thick fat pile of barely-stapled thesis to my left, complete with a hot-pink post-it to my thesis advisor.

At least til I get my hands on an English translation of Limited Inc and get some comments back, I'm...done with it, for a little while. Yay!

Anti-climax can be satisfying too, though, can't it? Congrats :) Hope you had a wonderful break.

Connnnngratulations, Oli. For a little while, of course. That sounds really relieving, as anti-climatic as it might also be.

Ha. I can't wait to swap thesis writing and thesis advisor stories with you when you finally make it up to Boston. Mmm.

Damn. I'm impressed. I'm not sure if I ever really had a full first draft of my thesis... certainly not one that was anywhere near that long. congrats:)

wow, amazing! oli, titchadesh. i hope to one day see it, if that's not too ambitious a statement from myself, and if that's not too forward to you.

wow. congratulations. 109 pages holy shit! the climax probably comes around the third or fourth celebratory round. i would really like to hear about it sometime (your thesis that is). maybe we can have a virtual drinking date like a pair of telephones and a whole bunch of whiskey.
