This afternoon, 4:45pm.

Me: “So, what’s the next step?”
Committee Chair: “Well, I’m fine with everything.”
Me: “I think that’s everyone?”
Committee Chair: “How soon can you defend?”
Me (joking, a little): “I’d go in an hour if I could.”
Committee Chair: “How about tomorrow?”
Me: “Okay.”

WAIT, say dear readers, how can this be? You JUST got your comments Monday! You just finalized committee members! And you’ve been asked to defend… 3 days later??
Well, yes. My committee chair actually made a few phone calls to see if we could move that quickly. But unfortunately (or maybe fortunately, I still have to make the presentation) we couldn’t figure out the logistics with schedules, so we have to wait until at least 2 of the 4 committee members are in town… which will be DECEMBER 20th! I have a defense date! December 20th, 2pm. It seems too surreal to even celebrate it.
To all that is good and right with the world: please help see that my family maintains all current organs and has no reason for glue or stitches. I need at least a semi-calm two more weeks to make changes and get prepared…
