A little late, I admit...
I've been busy. Tomorrow is my final defense for my dissertation work; I'm scared as hell.
Let's get the trivial stuff out of the way first.
Academic - I defend tomorrow. Then a few days of tweaking the dissertation and putting things in order before I leave, no employment prospects in sight.
Social - WoW: Seriously considering taking time off if not flat-out canceling the account. Amber - I hope to have fun with it next week once I can start focusing on it again. Personnel up here - I'm not actively trying to hide from you; it's just working out that way.
Personal - Going very rapidly insane owing to the many things going on around me. Sleep is one of those distant memories, and staying in any mood other than 'Oh shit' for more than 10 minutes hasn't happened in a month.
I'll be so damn happy - and so very scared - when this is over. Happy because it means I can stop mentally abusing myself and take time to breathe, sleep and relax; scared because the dissertation being over means it's time for that real world that's rumored to exist - the one I don't have near as much control over as I do my surroundings here.
*goes back to editing Powerpoint for the fifth time today, trying to get everything to fit*
