Welp, I just dropped a wad of cash on graduation regalia

[jfh]

So now I really HAVE to finish! I had a meeting this morning with one of my advisers. She advises one of my two capstone projects. At various times I've worried that either of them could derail my graduation, but the meeting went really well, so afterwards I went straight to the Student Union to buy my cap & gown! The second project is still up in the air but I think - think - it will get done.  

I cannot express how happy I will be three weeks from now, when I'm either a Master Master or I'm not, and I can stop stressing about it.

I have complete and total faith that you will get shit done and graduate!

I'm taking that faith and running with it! It's amazing how, when your own faith in yourself is wavering, other people's can make up the difference.

And just think of all the wine you can drink once it's all said and done!

Extra double triple like.

You can do it! It will feel amazing when you are done. When I finished my masters it felt like I could walk on water.

You can do it! But, do I need to put you in a Probie time out?

You can try, but I'll probably throw a tantrum. I want a perfect Hello Kitty sandwich, I want it NOW, and I want to eat it while probing. What sort of adviser wouldn't understand that??

Yayayayayay! Go master jfh!

I went and bought my regalia at
My low point this semester and I looked at it whenever I got stressed.

You are a champion!

CH! I'm going to send Kai a cutter and ruin your lyfe!

[jfh]

@pcloadletter if you block me I'll just have to put all my energy into stalking you on FB! There's no winning here, I just have to go with the probe!

@thadsrad that was a good idea!

[shevacc]

You can do this! I HAD to finish my MS because we were moving across the country and I already had the plane tickets to go start my new job. I bet having the end in sight is just the motivation you need.

[jfh]

As a side note, WTH do they have to make graduation regalia so goofy looking? Is it so you don't get too full of yourself? Hey miss smarty pants, you may be getting a Masters but you're going to have to look like a complete fucking goofball while you're getting it.

Case in point:

[helicase]

Exciting! Good luck. It's going to be really stressful these next few weeks, but it will be over soon. And then it will be summer -- woohoo!

[creamsiclechica]

You're going to rock it, I know it. I have a strong feeling that because you look so adorable, you will do much better than you think!

You have lots of women sending graduation vibes to you and we're all planning to celebrate with you. You are going to do just fine and you'll finally get to relax a bit until you decide to get your Doctorate.

Well hello there, panic attack! lol!

[katfco]

You can do it! You're in the home stretch and the end is in sight.

And yeah, the stuff does look pretty goofy. I had a red gown for my last graduation and I felt like a huge tomato in it.

[musiclover]

You are so close, stay focused!!!!!!!!!
you look cute in that hat!!!

[laurack]

You can do it! Drink some wine now to help you concentrate.

[TrudyCampbell]

Get 'er done!
