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? ;-)

Wow, that's amazing! Congrats on finishing your PhD! Can I now refer to you as Dr. [livejournal.com profile] 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?
