Thesis: Done (more or less)!

Better late than never: At 6:10 pm today, I finished my first complete draft of my thesis. Assuming my adviser doesn't hate it, it'll probably get revised one more time, and then that's it. Of course, I encountered printing problems, requiring me to run across the street to our library and print again... only to find that the second printer I was using didn't support duplex. So I ran up the stairs to a set of computers that were connected to a duplex printer, and after 10 minutes of waiting for Windows and Word to load and communicate with the printer (whereas the same process probably takes about a minute in my room), I finally had two complete copies of my thesis in my hands (one for my adviser, one for my alternate reader). But the IR office is closed at this point, so I have to wait until tomorrow to deliver the goods. And I was able to quickly resolve the printing problems when I got back from the library, meaning I wasted half-an-hour at the library for no reason. But it's

DONE! (basically)

Yeah, I'm a little bit excited about it.
