Chapter 307: Thesis Defense Today — Send Me Your Blessings!
Today is my thesis defense — send me your blessings!
Today is my thesis defense — send me your blessings!
Today is my master's thesis defense. There's a ton to do, but I still got up early and stuck to writing. It's only one chapter, but I'm truly swamped — I hope you'll all bear with me.
I worked on this thesis for four months, 140,000 characters. Printed out, it makes a hefty stack.
I wouldn't dare claim it's anything extraordinary, but at the very least, I can face my advisor and my own field of study with a clear conscience.
The only ones I've let down are you, my readers.
This thesis carries a lot of weight. Longtime readers know that to finish it, I killed my second child — a young man named Mingyue.
But as the thesis was nearing its end, the story of a lad named Heifu in the Qin dynasty also took shape in my mind.
When Mingyue came to its abrupt halt, the average subscriptions were just over 2,000. The Qin Officer's current average subscriptions are 15,000 — I wouldn't have dared dream of that...
So the twists and turns of life really are hard to predict. I hit a bottleneck after making a name for myself with Spring and Autumn, and just when everyone thought I was done for, I burned my boats and carved out a new path.
Compared to those wild swings, today's defense really isn't a big deal.
But it still serves as a reckoning and a finale for my three years of life. After today, I can no longer call myself a student in front of others — I can only call myself a "full-time author."
The defense starts at nine in the morning. I'm third in line, so my turn comes at ten-thirty.
So whether it's monthly tickets, recommendation tickets, book reviews, or chapter comments — treat them all as blessings for July and hurl them my way!
Also, this is the first time in three years I've asked for tips in a book. Tips of one yuan, 100 Qidian coins — shower me with them, the more the better!
With the blessing boost of a hundred thousand readers, everything will surely go smoothly.
Come to think of it, it was exactly three years ago, on May 19th, probably also in the morning, maybe even at this very hour, that I sent the draft of Spring and Autumn to the Qidian editor Yuanzheng's inbox and waited for his reply with a heart full of anxiety.
Now, I'm waiting too — waiting for the final exam of my student life, and for your blessings!
O(∩_∩)O~ I'm off — cheer for me!
