Jack of All Trades, Master of One
Monday, December 1, 2008 at 10:39PM | 78 Comments Get out the good booze and pour a glass, because it's official.
It was a long haul, but I successfully defended my thesis today and am now officially a Master in the fine art of Electrical Engineering. I think that earning a Master's degree is a pretty good birthday present, don't you? (Yup, today I'm only one year away from the final adulthood milestone: renting a car without paying extra fees)
I just have to make a few minor changes to my manuscript (which clocks in at a hefty 155 pages) before turning it in for final binding.
So what's a guy to do on such a momentous night? How about curl up on the couch with a large furball and fall asleep? Sounds good to me. (In my defense, I'm a bit sleep deprived from all this thesifying, and I am getting old...)
Knitting updates to come, as soon as I finish hitting the snooze button a few times ;)
