It is officially a day of new beginnings / less hate for one individual's life--just defended my dissertation. Now I no longer have to posture that I'm a doctor on internet websites for people I don't know.
Look forward to the new site. Thanks to everyone who was not poor and able to make donations. 1000 TPs to byenne!
RIP LarBrd.
Bye Celticsblog, I love you.
congrats tarheel. the defense is stressful, but also ceremonial. they would not let you stand unless the committee was confident you would pass.
however, until graduation, you are still Ph.C.
but almost there, doc-be-be. i am really happy for you.
enjoy your new freedom. when i defended mine, i took an oath to read NOTHING academic for 6 months.
