1) No more driving down to Provo. This will save roughly $1676 a year. Not to mention the probability that I will die in a car accident will decrease by 78%.
2)My family will come to visit. We'll all go out to dinner. I'm thinking Market Street Grill? I'll probably order the Alaskan halibut.
3) I will no longer have to answer the question "When are you going to graduate?"
4)When people ask me what my thesis is about, I won't have to bore them with the theoretical mumbo jumbo of ontological assumptions of the good life in psychotherapy. I'll just say I forgot.
5) I can get a FULL TIME JOB! One job, one location, one commute, one staggeringly large salary...
6) Maybe I'll want to have a baby one day. And maybe it will be a girl. And maybe I'll have to buy her cute baby dresses and decorate a nursery and play with her when she's born.
7) I can begin stories by saying, "Ah yes, back when I was doing my graduate work..."
8)I'll ask to be referred to as Master Emily Morris. Then maybe I'll become a ringleader in a circus.
9)I won't use my degree in my career, and then I'll write an exposé on the futility of graduate education.
10) Elizabeth said she'll buy me a present.
My thesis is temporarily consuming my life, I'll do a real post about what we're up to sometime soon!
You crack me up. Among the many things I found entertaining was your planned entree for your graduation dinner.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you posted this. It's probably a good thing most people don't know how often we discuss this list and add to it... I thought this was a nice summary :)
ReplyDeleteps you DEFINITELY need to have a cute baby girl so our babies can be adorable best friend cousins.
pps. I think I'd like the Dungeness Crab Ravioli. I just checked out their menu. So I'd be prepared.
ppps. Elizabeth is an awesome present giver so pretty much this one can stand alone.
Lol. You're too funny Emily. But seriously, if a baby girl is on the list, then graduate already! We'd love some cousins on the Morris side. :)
ReplyDeleteEMILY!!! I just found this!!! I LOVE it!!! It's so great to read about your life! I LOVE YOU... I LOVE MATT!!! You are wonderful!!!! ahhhhhhhh happy.
ReplyDeleteYou are so funny! I loved catching up on what you're doing!
ReplyDeleteYour top ten reasons to finish your thesis and graduate were hilarious! Well, some might be true to your case, but I find it kind of funny, hehe! Anyway, I think having reasons to finish their thesis would be a great motivator for them to stop procrastinating and actually write the paper. Well, who wouldn’t finish their thesis paper is a reason is getting a present from someone. :)
