Would you like ties with that?

Sometimes people have suggested that an arts degree leads to you asking "would you like fries with that?", but last week I hit a fairly similar question (albeit, it was "tie" rather than "ties"). I decided to buy a new suit in conjunction with my M.Sc. thesis defense, and the question was asked when I grabbed an extra dress shirt when picking up my new suit.

On the subject of my thesis, I passed my M.Sc. thesis defense this morning. I need to do a few tweaks to the thesis before I can submit the final copy, but am hoping that I can accomplish that within the next couple of days. I'm hoping that, unlike last year, this time I'll actually have a true end-of-year break (depending on what I can get done before I leave I may look at extending my time away).

Then in January begins what for me will be post-secondary degree #3.
