That's Dr. Epicycles to you!

So....I got my PhD!

My doctoral defense was yesterday. It was incredibly stressful right up until it started, then it was fine. (I think the beginning really put me at ease...you can tell things will go well when your thesis committee starts off by arguing over which of the Avengers they would be. XD)

Oooh, thanked in acknowledgments, I feel all special! :) (Also, I totally BIRGed about you today at work. "My bff just got her Ph.D. in physics; she is totally awesome and more right than you about everything!" Those may not have been my exact words, but that was pretty much the gist of it.)

If you happen to have some amount of time before leaving Saturday, I could do talkies tonight or tomorrow. Tonight I'd have to stop by about 11pm my time, since I have to get up at 8am and have been getting not enough sleep all week; tomorrow I will likely be tired but don't have to get up the next day, so your schedule would more likely be the limiting factor there. If neither of those work, I guess it may have to wait until you're back? Unless you'd have time to call from the ship? How long are you going to be off sailing this time?

(In general, my schedule involves getting up at 6:30am Tues-Thurs, and 8am Fri/Sat alternating. So generally, Sat/Sun nights will be best for talkies (or alternating Thurs/Fri), if we talk as long as we usually do--which, admit it, we will. Of course I also frequently have weekend plans like gaming and such... argh too busy. :/)

Congrats again!! I can't stop saying how awesome you are!!!!

:D :D :D It's nice to be BIRGed about!

My schedule has shifted around, so I have time for talkies this weekend! Lots of time, since my friends are out of town LOL. What are your weekend plans?

Thank you Reyka!! <3333333

Suddenly I am more busy than you! I win!

(Seriously, I'm sorry about your not getting to go to your ship yet because of frustrating thesis finishing, but I'm glad it sounds like you're going to be able to work something out. :) )

Anyway, tonight is probably the best night for me this weekend, because I have a friend's bday party tomorrow evening, and Homestuck rpg Sunday evening, and I don't know how late either will go. Actually, tomorrow afternoon could work instead, if that's better for you for some reason, but tonight is the only evening I am free until... sometime a while from now.
