My actual, physical Master's Degree showed up in the mail, today.

What's sad is that I only give a shit about it, at all, really, because it means that I actually graduated, and that they didn't Screw Me, at the last minute.

Actually. If I'm to be honest about it, I'm really kind of upset...

Hm. Very strange.

I'm going to go eat, and try to figure out what the hell is wrong with me...

I always get depressed when I reach a milestone, and the journey ends. That's why I play Final Fantasy games over and over, or take a really long time to finish the quests. I hate when the journey ends.

Combine that with your standard approach-avoidance, and general disillusionment with academia and, yeah, I think you're about there.

Heh... Yeah, I get the disillusionment aspect. I imagine getting a degree is kind of like when you turn 18 or 21, and you sort of expect that "feeling" of being an adult, that you should be wize and adult now.

And yet, you just feel the same as you did the day before.

Don't be disheartenned though. You worked hard, achieved something, and there's still miles of road ahead of you. From our interactions, it's very apparent you're a person that will never be satisfied in your search for truth and information. You can take comfort in knowing that you'll always have something to look forward to in that respect. I know I do.

Thanks. I really appreciate that.
