Go dissertation, goooo!

Four clean copies of everything but the last chapter, plus the two copies that I printed first and by mistake messed up the page numbers (sorry, forest). It is going out to the committee right now!

It takes some guts to print this much of something you wrote yourself, let me tell you. Like when halfway through printing my 1,200 pages, the printer ran out of toner (that is, I used up all the toner) and the computer lab guy had to change the toner cartridge right under the big sign on the wall that says "you may print up to three copies of any document."

Fortunately for you, that sign was put up by the animals in the forest. And they are almost never in the computer lab anymore.

No april fools, it's real. For april fools, I sent the graph of the Weimar Republic's historical significance (see blog post from a few weeks ago). But they didn't open the attachment and though it was my diss, and got all excited. Then I felt bad.

Thanks you guys! I love you guys.

How did I get my diss out of its stupor? I have to think about that one. I'm not sure. I guess my method is to instill fear in myself, but not too much fear.
