The thesis was submitted as scheduled at 10h30 on the first. My sincere gratitude to all of you who chipped in and helped with the proofreading.

Next was the thesis defense. I spent the last week prepping for it then had that exactly one week later, even earlier in the morning. Now I was satisfied with the data I had, I was satisfied with presentation, and I never was one for practicing a speech too often anyway. So I went into it with a week of accumulated sleep dep, thinking that even if I wasn't as prepared as I could be I was certainly as prepared as I was going to be.

And you know what? It went pretty well, thankyouverymuch.

So I have completed all the requirements for my Master's degree. After wards I slept 15 hours (with a 2 hour break halfway through), and then spent a weekend with a fairly full social dance card. That latter point was reassuring: I needed to remind myself that despite how much I have poured myself into my work, I can still get into a good chat with someone over drinks and connect with them.

So I'm fed, rested, watered and ready to get back into it.

After all, PhD theses don't write themselves.
