Graduate from university

I’m so close now. All I have to do is finnish the damn dissertation. I sent a chapter to my professor yesterday (yes, on Christmas Eve – remembered just barely that I had promised to send it before the 25th) without even reading it through. I have arrived to a stage where all I have to do is get this done. My ambitions lie elsewhere and this has been a plug in my life for way too long.

I spent the entire sunday working on my dissertation, the only thing between me and graduation. It felt absolutely great, like releasing energy that had been tucked up inside me just waiting to get out. It was also relaxing because this is something I do for me and no one else. And the deadline I have for myself isn’t very tight – it’s next spring.

Next I should work up my courage and arrange a meeting with my professor who hasn’t seen me for about two years. (sigh)
