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.
I declare a moratorium on school work until Monday. I refuse to even think about my finals until next week. I have so earned the crown I'm wearing on my head right now and the weather seems to agree. Alex and I are going out to celebratory dinner tonight and then I have thesis parade and the senior dinner on Friday. Hooray!
I had a freshman in my Econ class ask me what I was wearing on my head this morning. I was like do you even go here? I mentioned turning in my thesis to this afternoon's client and even she knew what that meant (and was suitably impressed). I did refrain from wearing my laurels in my afternoon English class. There's only the three of us in there, and my fellow senior hadn't turned her thesis in yet. She didn't sleep last night either, poor thing. Another freshman in my Econ class was telling how she found a male senior in her dorm just sobbing as he lost all or some portion of his thesis somehow. I feel bad for the guy, but it's Thesis 101 to back your shit up constantly to avoid such a calamity with two days to go till the final deadline. -.-
I called my Dad today, several times actually, but he never picked up. I was going to tell him that I turned my thesis in, if he even knows what that means, and to ask if the remaining two weeks till I graduate was short enough notice for him to determine whether he might spare some time from his all-important other time commitments to come up here and see me walk. I thought it was worth just one more shot...
