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.

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?

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