tsaikoThe good news is the defense went well!
The bad news is my committee wants another set of revisions to my thesis before they'll sign off on it. So I won't be graduating this month. I have, however, made them commit to getting me out by October. I flat out told them that I was losing jobs because employers were not talking to me without a firm graduation date. I laid it out and made them say yes to have this all done by October 10th. I am holding them to it.
Also, I totally think they should add Captain America to the "It's a Small World" ride. He'll represent the US and start beating people over the head with his shield when that song gets stuck in his head.

...With concert-grade earplugs, even.

Date: 9/1/09 03:38 am (UTC)Boohiss to the committee for making more hoops to jump through. I'm beginning to think that, for academic types, the rules of time and space just don't seem to apply. It seems for every bit of progress J makes, they throw in six stumbling blocks intended to slow the process down tenfold. Sounds remarkably similar to what they're doing to you to. X_x;;
But! It's almost over. Just have to keep plodding through and breathing down their necks until you have them signing all the papers saying you are done. *glomps* Good luck! Did you ever hear anything back from the Big Company you did the phone interview with? *curious*
