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.

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*
