I defended today. It went well, no difficult questions, conversational, just like I wanted. I brought coffee and muffins which seemed to be adequate.

Hard to believe its almost over. I still have to file the damned thing, and there are major sections I want to add. Otherwise, the librarian is the only person left in my way.

I already received my first email with the salutation "Hello Dr. ___" Sure it was automated, but still. I paused.

Substantial amount of drinking has gone one now, but to be honest its sort of anticlimactic. I'm full of confusing emo thoughts, but I think they're only temporary. I want to celebrate, but common kid, don't get cocky.
