Well, congrats on the paradigm shift, finishing the thesis paper and the promise of many exciting things next year, respectively. Or something like that. Thesis papers were always my nemesis. Oh, how much sooner I'd have graduated if it weren't for them. Gimme a dozen exams over that any day. Well, not on a single day, obviously. An exam is like 3 hours. And even taking an evening time-slot into account, it just wouldn't fit. So what's the thesis paper on? Anything that'd be interesting for sharing? I suppose the only somewhat notable event in my live recently is that my job contracted has been upgraded to permanent. Not that I've had any reason to worry about it. It'll make getting a mortgage easier if I ever get serious about buying house though. There was a light dusting of white on the roofs this morning, but no real snow yet. |

We got a fair amount of snow Thursday and Friday, but it's pretty much all melted by now. My thesis paper is on the relations between Saxony and Sweden during the Thirty Years War. So I guess fun stuff, if that's what you're interested in. Commencement ceremony was today (although we don't actually get our diplomas until after finals week, obviously- no idea why commencement is before finals ). I'm glad its December, not May, though- an hour and a half was already pretty long to be sitting there.

You know, you can really tell that people's attention span has dwindled. 1337 to 1453 : the hundred years' war 1568 to 1648 : the eighty years' war 1618 to 1648 : the thirty years' war 1754 to 1763: Seven Years' War June 5 to 10, 1967 : Six-Day War |

is less attn for wars considered progress, though? (if only it meant war would become a think of the past due to boredom....as if)wow, Elys...i thought it was annoying graduating before results of finals were in, but before you even take the test?! that's just crazy o.O i don't know what time they think they're saving...sometimes even one test can make a difference in cord color :Y and supposedly that stuff means something (funny how it all seems more important until you actually get to it and realize no one cares and no one will remember a year from then, much less decades later) *sigh* c'est la vie =.=; i would have had to delay my graduation until now because of a thesis, but so much was going on and i got too anxious "just end it already!" XD just because of my lack of patience for it, i most certainly would not do well in any research positions ^^; nevertheless, congrats! did they just tell you how to commence and all while standing in line to get your papers and other goodies, or did they give you a little breathing room to be able to tell your family where to sit for the best pictures? lol |

There is a also apparently a war that lasted only ten minutes (see WhatIf? WWII Films). And indeed, congratulations Elys. We got snow sunday, ish. It was melting as it fell. But! Watched all of LoTR (extended) films with friends today, we're hitting Hobbit parts 1 and 2 tomorrow before going to see "The Battle of Five Armies" in theater that night. Kinda ridiculous, but awesome. |

towr: Kari: Cord color??? What does that mean? There wasn't anything having to do with that that I noticed. And yep- I went in to the ceremony not really knowing what I was supposed to do. I just followed the people in front of me. Dark: Holy cow- that's a lot of movie! Sounds like fun, though.

cords like the honor cords (if you get any), color for level of honors or whatever (not really all that important, but people like titles! lol) that's sad....mine was the same, it just seems to take away from the importance of it (that's how i felt anyway), probably no better than just pick it up at an office saying "here're your papers, congratulations" and go or just waiting to get it in the mail...who needs a ceremony when you're just gonna turn it into a cattle drive XD Dark, do you like the hobbit movies or just kinda seeing them for teh sake of seeing 'em all? lol personally, i dont think they're as well done as the lord of teh rings movies and they kinda ruined the whole lighthearted adventurous feel that the Hobbit should have had, but we're gonna see it just cuz why not XD that movie marathon's a good idea, though...we did that when return of the king came out since we hadnt seen the others anyway...was better seeing them all in one short, you really get a feel for it all fresh in your mind to get the full story :'3 |

Oh, I see. They had medallions for the honors students. And they did announce '(summa/magna) cum laude' for some of the people. I would almost rather have just picked it up at an office, all things considering. I'm not much of one for ceremonies, really, and most of it was just listening to people talk, and then clapping for other students while being bored. |

I'm with you Elys. The whole ceremony bit is just kinda ... meh for me. I'd as soon not attend my own graduation. Kari, I'd have to say overall that I like them, but not as much as The Lord of the Rings by a long shot. Really I'd be okay stitching together a film from oh, about Mirkwood (well, riddles in the dark, while short would be okay to include) to say the death of Smaug. But mostly just everything with the dragon really. |

yeah, i think it was stretched too much to fit in 3 movies just to add that extra subplot to introduce the idea that darkness is coming...trapping gandalf when we know he'll be perfectly fine, and then by the time lord of the rings really starts no one knows anything is out of place until bilbo decides to leave on his 111th birthday :Y creating plotholes where there would have been none, bugs me...these movies could have just taken the best of the story and as you say focus on the dragon part especially since that was the main reason for the whole adventure (could have done without the whole gold statue thing, though...that was...anti-climactic and too ridiculous for my tastes lol) ah well, fans being fans, we'll always have "how it should have ended" and possibly people making shorter cut versions of it to do just that XD who knows |

Ah, yes. How it should have ended: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yqVD0swvWU Though I suppose you don't get the best stories from characters making the best choices. |

true, towr, but one thing is characters not making great decisions which makes the story happen....and another thing is the movie makers adapting the story to make the characters work less well together with the additions lol "Black arrow!" *pew* "I'm not even supposed to BE in this story!"
