Well, this is a bit late now, but I finished my degree in December. It sucked, it was a lot of work, and it made me want to bash my head against more than one wall, but overall, it was a good experience. It’s easy to say that now, of course, from this end of things; at the time, it seemed impossible that I would ever get every form turned in on time, every signature in place. After all, everyone knows it’s not the writing or the coursework that kills you, it’s the forms and procedures required by the department and the school that makes you want to commit murder.

It’s only another year, or that’s what I tell myself every year before checking out the manual to see what new rules they have to extend my stay even longer. The newest one was that writing a dissertation has to take at least a year of official diss hours. Basically, it doesn’t matter that I could have written the thing already; I’d still have to put in the time. Ridiculous. Still, I suppose having my phD by the time I’m 29 is pretty good, all things considered.

Though some are in Japanese with horrid subtitles that barely make sense, most of the episodes on torrentspy.com are watchable. And just think of it—165 episodes and four entire movies worth of Inu Yasha, right there at your fingertips.
