At last, it’s over. I did it. I took and passed my last oral exam. This means that now, if I can just get my dissertation committee members to get their acts together, I can propose my dissertation. And that means that I’ll finally get to be ABD. And you know what ABD means, right? That’s right. All But Dissertation. And you know what that means, right? That’s right. It means just me, myself, and I stitting down to write a 250 page history paper.

Crap.

Ah well, I get to take a little time off to celebrate, right? Yes. The answer to that question is yes :-) I also want to say thanks to all you guys who’ve been sending me emails and little motivational notes to pump me up for this exam. I personally am just so glad to finally be done, but the support coming from everyone has just been really awesome. Really, it warms my flinty little heart, kids. Thanks!
