Getting to the end

I'm going round the bend!
Anyway, I'm in round X of editing. I hope that I'm getting to the "sick of reading drafts" phase as illustrated in PhdComics.Com. I've actually had one professor (not on my committee) tell me that he pretty much uses this criteria for telling students when they're done. I really really really hope that when I finish this round of edits (hopefully by next week) that that will be it. The document looks like a real thesis now, anyway, all formatted and properly referenced and stuff.
I'm still not sure if I should feel lucky/flattered or cursed/worried that all three of my committee members have decided that my thesis is worth reading with a fine tooth comb. I feel like other people I know don't even have their own _advisor_ read their full thesis, much less their other committee members...
