I finally did it (aka Dr. Baltar I'm coming after you)
So, as some of you might know I struggled for a while with the process of defending my PhD thesis. It was a big (epic I might say) disccussion about the length of my studies and the way that I wanted to be presented and the way that my prof wanted it and I just don't want to get into that.
BUT, since I was pretty much absent from LJ for some time now I felt that it's my duty to inform everybody that I managed to DO IT. This morning (almost 12 hours ago) I defended it. It was success if I can say so - everybody left the room smiling, I spoke for only 45 minute (there is a problem in our field with people speaking like for hours to no end) and tomorrow I'm going to the Rectory with the folder for the Official national board for PhDs (or whatever the name of the strange thing is).
So, all in all it started more or less like this
continued in a manner that believe me you don't really want to know about, last week it was like this (with my abstract being published and all)
and today it was like
and this
So, all in all like I was saying on twitter earlier YOU CAN CALL ME DOCTOR (in electrical engineering but that's irrelevant).
Anyway, what I want to finish with is a big thanks for the moral support that I got from some people that are part of this nice virtual world (you know who you are so I'll not mention you all because I'm afraid that 'll forget somebody). There were days in which you made me smile or grin or something and that helped me to go on with all the work and RL craziness.
Taking this opportunity I'm warning you that starting with this weekend I plan to start a big reading spree and consequently I'm going to restart my commenting strange habits.
