Blessed by the Potato

I got my thesis back from the printers!

It’s so weird how unreal it seems — I was able to grasp that the masters was finally done up until I picked up the actual printed proof, and now it all seems so unreal again. I would have thought holding the book in my hands would have the opposite effect.

I’m not very impressed by the super-expensive “thesis paper” they printed it on — it’s thinner than my resume cotton bond paper that was cheaper to get from Staples. Of course, that didn’t have the weird water mark on it. Plus, all the pages stick together along the bottom edge, so I have to be really careful about turning them. Now, I have to find a free spot on my shelf to keep it, because sitting here on the floor probably isn’t going to work for me in the long run.
