defended
I 've always thought it odd that people so often can't remember their defenses. How could someone not remember such a momentous occasion? Now, of course, I have to eat my words. I had intended to write a recap of the whole thing today but ... I already can't really remember any of the details.
I do remember that it went well, and several people even came to it. (This is somewhat of a rarity for summer defenses in my department.) I was able to answer all of the questions, and actually enjoyed most of it. The Graduate Dean was available to sign off on it immediately afterwards, so all that is left to be done is the printing, binding and filing. Mister Boyfriend and I made a celebratory trip to Office Depot last night.
I appreciated everyone's encouragement and comments yesterday. It was nice to feel all fuzzy for a moment before the nervousness set in!

Super. Isn't it funny how some of life's biggest moments are shrouded by such a sense of surrealism that you can't quite capture the experience in your mind? It's evidence of the paramount importance of it for you.
And now you're DONE with that. Try to recline in the glory of the moment of being finished with a major project before you start worrying about the next one. :)
