Anti-climax

[sqbr]

Well..it's done. I have handed in my phd (all 8 copies of it).

I would probably feel a lot more enthusiastic about this if I wasn't feeling so crappy. I think all the adrenaline from the last few weeks of waiting has gone sour, so I'm sleepy and grumpy and feeling generally under the weather (I actually called in sick for work tomorrow, since as always the first symptom of me not feeling well is a sore throaght)

In fact I'm seriosuly considering not going to Terracon, though I think I'll wait and see if I feel better by Friday. I thought about offering up my ticket to someone else, but I think I'd rather give myself the chance of going and if neccesary let unisfa keep the $65 to buy more muffins or something.
Still, Sarah and Jocelyn, you may want to consider buying your own packet of pasta and bottle of sauce, though you're welcome to stop by my house and pick up mine if that's too much trouble :)

Guh. I may go lie and read some more. Still, though I may not feel very excited about it now at some point it's going to hit me that I never have to do any work on my phd again, and I'll feel pretty chuffed. Well, unless you count the paper my supervisor wants me to cobble together out of the first half, but I can take as long on that as I want.

sorry to hear you're not feeling well.

I so totally don't deserve sympathy from you :) Anyway, illness will pass, having a Phd is forever!

Well done Dr Sophie! I'm sure it will eventually sink in once it's completely out of the way.

Hope you come, even if it means the hut gets even quieter :P Though I do understand the frantically busy -> sick thing.

And pasta and sauce are already on my shopping list :P

[alias_sqbr]

Glad to know you won't starve without me!

The frantically busy-> sick thing is very annoying, especially when it makes me sick for whatever I was frantically busy preparing for (which didn't stop me this time, ha!)

Terracon sounds like a good way for you to unwind. You should come along.

[alias_sqbr]

I know from personal experience that it's not a good place to unwind if you're sick :P

Poor thing :(

Feeling sick instead of feeling relieved. Hope you don't actually get sick sick.
Just rest up, 'kay?

on a side note: Pax is free opening night of PotC! Think you'll be better by then?
