Congratulations! I'd never heard of the term before but it sounds like it combines translation, linguistics, history and a lot of other fields(aka translation studies here:))Props to you for getting a degree in something that appealed to you rather than just what is going to make you money. Hopefully, though, you can do both with your degree:)

Haha, thanks. I don't think I'd be good at money-making things if I was just in it for that, so I'm glad I found something I wanna do with my life (my sister's almost done with her Bachelor and has no idea what she wants to do after). And it's really just a fancy term for translation studies, although we did do linguistics and some history things (like the history of writing instruments, although nobody knows why we needed a 90 minute lecture on that O.o)

Congratulations! That's awesome! :D Also, it's amazing that you got the 55 page thesis done in 3 weeks! Well done with that! I'm sure you're happy it's over!

I guess you're right. It still sounds really daunting, though!

With university, that is :P I am now a Master of Arts in Translatology (yes, that's a thing).
After spending last summer writing my master's thesis, basically locked in the library every night for 3 weeks*, I finally got my results back last week. I did much better than I could have hoped for (seriously, it's the second best grade I could have gotten, and after waiting for so long I thought for sure I actually failed). Sooo, one purpose of this thread is of course to celebrate with a few giveaways :D which are over now, sorry
But I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone I couldn't thank in my thesis, namely my cats for keeping me calm and being there for cuddles when I needed them, and you guys for helping me not feel completely isolated during those long nights at the library :) (I slept during the day so I could get a work room to myself at night, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to concentrate enough to work).
Also, thanks to music in general and to Doomtree in particular for keeping me motivated during my writing sessions/helping me get into that "I can f***ing do this!!!" frame of mind with their music and general attitude.
And lastly, a big FU to the people who told me I should pick another career/not go to college at all in my life. I'm glad I only encountered very few of those people and don't have to deal with them very often, but it's still disheartening to think about how they might influence other people's paths (one was a teacher, one a career advisor).
*I wrote it in 3 weeks, but did some reading beforehand, and had practical experience in the field. While it's possible, I don't recommend waiting to the last 3 weeks to write your thesis, I only did so because I thought I could get an extension, but it turns out that having to work because you don't qualify for government assistance is not a valid reason, and because it was during the summer, it took about 6 weeks to get a definitive answer from someone, three weeks before my due date.
