alexia75 is discovering the downsides of higher education...

You know, your dissertation is like a really bad boyfriend. Worse than that - the worst boyfriend ever. I love it, and loathe it at the same time. It keeps me trapped in my room against my will, it makes me want to beat my head against a wall; it stops me from seeing my friends and it makes me

And just like a crap boyfriend, after you finish with the bloody thing, it's useful for absolutely nothing.

I'm loving that icon. What is it of?

It's the dialogue from a sketch from A Bit of Fry and Laurie - the blue is Stephen Fry and the red is Hugh Laurie.

That's the second F&L sketch I ever saw. It's also the one that convinced me I was in love and clearly had to obtain everything they ever did together. Ever. Ah, good times.

Eddie Izzard + DW = very much love. xD

I made that exact same comparison a few months ago in regards to my master's thesis. It's like an abusive boyfriend - it kicks you when you're down, and taunts and belittles you, and yet you still go crawling back to it, day after day, begging it to like you.

Oh my God, it's an abusive relationship.

I can stop lying about the bruises now!

Then it leaves you before you're ready to say goodbye; not that you're sad to see it go - it's just you'd have liked to have been the one to say when.

To add insult to injury it proceeds to go off to sleep with your tutors. Who'll eventually send you a little note to tell you how it was, suggest ways it could have been better, and then smile at you in the street as if nothing had happened.

I'm so glad mine's done!

Ahaha, oh, man... so true.

*weeps*

Congrats on finishing yours. I hope I live to see the end of mine.

Stay Strong, somehow life goes on... though it does seem oddly without purpose for a week or two... the flat is so very empty without that pile of books and papers...

And get someone else to read through it about a week before you hand it in so that they can catch all the made-up words that somehow snuck in there when you were writing at 4am - they have clocking technology and you will not see them yourself.

XD Good advice. Thank you.
