Awesome thread. Ironically, I am at school at the moment (in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, hence the time difference) and last night I finally finished my master thesis! I was planning on finalizing it and handing it in on Tuesday, but I noticed that I used a ton of references which were not in my list, so I had to track them down; extremely frustrating!
I went to bed at 7 am on Tuesday, slept till 11am and continued, I decided not to stop working until it was completely finished.... I forgot to get me some Red Bull, so I lived off tea, it helped I must say because the night went by real fast! I was able to listen to the game last night (started at 3am my time) while writing my preface, and saw the outcome as a good sign
At 8am I was done, but I needed to convert it to pdf, obviously that's when the troubles started, waited 30 minutes and retried, but you know how it is with PC's, they're always there for you when you're downloading porn, but when you're on something serious... no spank you.
Eventually I got it to work, hopped in the car and drove to school. I wasn't tired al night, I actually had a good time finishing off my academic career on a high like that, but when I started driving I noticed I wasn't completely myself. I dorve cautiously, and here I am now (thankfully); handed my pdf in at the printers, and am waiting to pick up 4 copies, hand those in and voila! I'm no longer a student!
Well, I still need to defend (in December) but essentially that's all just for ceremonial purposes. When I get home in 2 hours, I'm taking a nice loooooong sleep...
Good luck to all you nocturnal workers, just know you're not alone!
Well, neither are the daytime workers I guess...
