Dr. Me?
I defended my thesis on Monday afternoon. Viva voce. Successfully: I have minor corrections (the examiners' reports are, between them, 20 pages long) and once that is done I can go do new things.
I enjoyed myself, once I forgot to be terrified. And afterwards some people even came out to help me celebrate, which meant a very great deal to me. People! Showing up to mark this milestone in my life! I felt... cared for.
So many people have helped me get this far, with support moral and otherwise. So much encouragement. I have been deeply honoured by it, and I do not forget how very much I owe to so very many.
Yesterday, I went for a walk and for a swim and got myself sunburned. Today all I want to do is sleep. It is somewhat frustrating. Life feels very strange.
