And So It Ends
April 30, 2018

I'd been nose-to-the-grindstone for two months, editing my thesis drafts,
discussing ideas and changes with my advisor. Then in a single week, everything
changed. My final draft went before the committee on Monday; Thursday I got
their comments back. I made a couple of minor changes that evening, got my
thesis printed and bound on Friday. Saturday, I turned it in to the program
director at the student reading. And just like that, I was pretty much done with
graduate school. Now that the semester is over, I'm just waiting for them to
mail me my diploma. Five years, two masters degrees, and now I'm suddenly no
longer in school. I gave myself a week to relax and celebrate, but as of today,
it's back to real life and real work.
