Today, I am feeling accomplished.

I know I don't often make RL posts (in fact, this is the first), but as of today, I am FINISHED with my PH D THESIS. The subject, should anyone be interested, is weighted integral formulas on complex manifolds (yes, that's in mathematics). It feels like it's taken forever--the last few days I've mostly been proofreading, and I'll be reading something like

We first define the tautological vector bundle H, which is a sub-bundle of the trivial rank N-bundle C^N --> X, such that the fiber of H above p is the k-plane in C^N corresponding to the point p.

and then I'll realize that my brain has zoned out and is instead thinking something like "I wonder if there's left-over cake from the statistics seminar" or "Mmm, Benton Fraser naked". But I have now finally turned it in for printing, and I'll defend it in January.

Oh, well done! *applauds* That must be such a relief. Does this mean we should soon address you as Dr. Luzula? ;-)

[luzula]

Thank you, and yes, it is a relief. I suspect I would feel uncomfortable with the Dr. title, though. : )

Very appropriate icon, btw.

Woo! Congratulations!!!

[luzula]

Thank you!

Dr. Luzula! OMG, this is so wonderful! congratulations on finishing your thesis, you must be so relieved!

Oh, thanks for the \o/! Hmm, the Dr thing makes me feel strange, though. I'm glad I don't live in Germany, where apparently people call you that all the time if you have a Ph D. And then you can get something the Germans call a double doctorate, which means people have to call you Doktor Doktor. *g*

YAAAAAAAAAY you!

[luzula]

Thank you! Yeah, I was basically going around last night at home going "Yay me!".

Thanks! *g*

Wow, that's amazing! Congrats on finishing your PhD! Can I now refer to you as Dr. luluza? And when my friends ask me a question about complex manifolds (as they do) I can say, "Hmmm, well, Dr. Math can help you out!" and then refer to them to you?

[luzula]

Oh yes. You can definitely refer any and all questions on complex manifolds to me. : )
