Starting Final Semester 19 months ago

Today was recognition day at internship, (nice framed acknowledgment!) and now, on to chapters 2-5 of the thesis. I don’t think I’m supposed to be tired, but you know, I’ll just say it: I’m getting a little tired. 5.5 months to go! (and then I might be able to do something fun again, without guilt.)
