FINAL POST
So that's it, all over, no longer a linguistics student. Though I am still a student of linguistics. (Wait a minute... *mutters to self*... syntax versus morphology, morphological combination must have semantic differences... No, wait! I don't do that any more!) I am an unemployed person of no fixed vocation.

Here are the last moments of That:

8.57 continue writing what I didn't do any of last night cos of the brandy
12.03 begin printing
1.03 baffled by clasp on plastic binder
2.22 finish proofreading
2.48 printer runs out of ink
2.48.02 triumphant ha! I am prepared for this
3.11 finish printing
3.14 out of house
4.04 stuff binders into box in department
5.05 back home
5.08 booze (Hobgoblin)

Sometimes for amusement I taunt spelling-checkers. Here are words I used that it doesn't know: arity, binarity, clitic, coreference, complementizer, cybernetically, discardable, disfluency, ditransitive, featural, fillable, Golgi apparatus, grammaticalized, intervenience, intonational, iterable, logophor, lookahead, minimality, moggy, nominalized, ourself, parametrize, proformal, satisfiable, specifier, stipulative, structuralist, subcategorization, subrule, syntagmatic, tertium quid, therefrom, topicalization, treehood, unaccusative, unassignable, underlyingly, unemphatically, unimplementable, unnoticingly.

So I won't be updating here any more, this is the LAST ONE, and I'm putting on the Ring and slipping out into another life.

Some of you might spot the odd luminous pale eye on the water, a faint paddling, a bit of wood on your tail, and wonder what it might be...

It's not clear to me why not being a student anymore implies you have to stop blogging. I've been enjoying your occasional posts.

I know well that postpartum depression, that feeling of emptiness. You have my combined congratulations and sympathy. It will get better.

I hear the rustling of leaves nearby, and the sound pleases me. Pax tecum.

for purely selfish reasons, i demand that you keep writing here, if you mean to say you won't. your writing is too entertaining, too wonderful not to share with us, your loving audience.

and many congratulations on the in-handing.

Congratulations on the completion! I told you you'd do it.

And, more importantly, much luck with this next stage of life. I'm moving towards that interesting, terrifying liminality myself, so I know the feeling well.

Congratulations on getting it done and handed in (and good choice of booze).

*Waves goodbye sadly, and will miss your posts on her friends page*

...a riddle worthy of a sphinx. Congratulations on finishing The Thing.

Think I have a bit of wood on my tail already. See, why when you write that it sounds all poetic and mystical, but I write it and it sounds like smut?

Here's to hoping this readhes you in Rivendell or wherever you might be. I hope you still are throughly boozed and resting on your laurels.

Congratulations!

Felicitations on handing in the thesis, and all best to you. I've enjoyed reading your posts here; (unless you want a total break) it'd be nice to find out eventually which alias you take up in lieu of this one.

Vale to [info]entangledbank the linguistics student! [I'd prefer a less ambiguous salutation here, but my meagre Latin vocabulary does not provide one|Ave] to your next life! And congratulations on delivering yourself of That.

I'll keep an ear out for faint paddling. 'Twould be a most welcome sound.

So I arrived only weeks before the end and come now weeks after. All here is lost but perhaps hope.
