we could be out here for hours

[f1renze]

Oh, my god. The last 2+ weeks have been a lot more stress and drama than I ever thought I could handle in an entire lifetime. But it's over now. And not only did I survive, I survived. And right now, all I wanna do is take a moment to appreciate the good stuff.

Because I just turned in the final -- revised, approved, final -- version of my dissertation. This feels more real to me than passing the defense, because everything's now official: I really have the Ph.D.

There's so much I want to say, and those words will come, but right now I'm a useless ball of RELIEF and I need to recover first. But yes.

I did it. It is done.


Note to self: sweetestdrain and nerdanel are your guardian angels, and Matt Pond PA's "It Is Safe" took you to the homestretch. Remember this.

Oh -- also remember that this is the year your school starts doing online diss submissions, and that this makes you feel so Next Generation, yo.

Thank you so much, Lucie dear! I can't believe it's over, but I think it's starting to sink in.

And thank you for the well wishes -- I need it! >:D<
