truepennyI love this porpentine, but you know, the longer I look at it, the less fretful it seems. That's a porpentine with a strawberry, man. Life doesn't get much better.
The dissertation is printed out and sitting in a stack waiting to go to the copy-shop on Monday. (The particular copy-shop I favor, because they'll copy mss while I wait and not make a big production out of it, like it was saving the last silver spoon from the Titanic or something--they aren't open on Saturdays.) 352 pages, plus 11 single-spaced pages of bibliography.
Thank you very very much to everyone who posted excitement and congratulations yesterday. Some of you seem even more excited than I am. *g* I know I've said it before, but it bears repeating: y'all's enthusiasm means a tremendous amount to me. I am convinced I wouldn't now be preparing to defend in a month if it wasn't for the support I've gotten from all of you. And I'd be even more of a neurotic whack-job about it than I am.
It's a beautiful day. I'm rereading Watership Down because I think I've earned it. My writing life has sprung up to devour me whole, and that's grand, too.
I'm just ... happy. That doesn't happen very often.
Wow.
