Okay so I finally finished my thesis! I've been working on it for over a year now! It's finally done! I can't believe it! I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

It's about 40 pages, but there was a TON of research that went into it. Like, a ridiculous amount of research... I had to read through about 10,000 (not exaggerating) definitions in the OED. And find really really obscure books in the stacks at the library, from the 1800s and such.

Now I just have to defend it and turn in the bound copies.

Yay!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!

I honestly can't express how excited I am.

Thank you all!!! I'm giddy with excitement.

The subject was five particular suffixes:
-ster (like webster)
-oon (like spittoon)
-ling (like kittenling)
-kin (like dollkins)
-en (like proven)

I wrote five articles, as I would if I were gonna publish, plus a preface including -nik (like sputnik)

Well, my thesis advisor is going to go over it with me on Thursday, and then I'm handing it out to the committee on Friday.

Yay!

I remember those days! Although the longest paper I ever wrote was 20 pages but still it is very time consuming!
