Wow, I actually did it

I am happy to report that...

I defended my thesis!

I still can't quite believe it. It's been a tough road. I don't yet feel the elation I thought I would. It's more just a huge relief. And I am so utterly tired. I think I could sleep for days.

Once I find the energy again, I'll be sure to celebrate for days. Weeks, even. Maybe the whole darn summer.
