More thesis news: I scheduled my thesis defense!! That (basically) means that from now until July 17th I don't have to work on my thesis. A few days before I'll just need to pick it up again and prepare a short presentation for the defense meeting. phew!! What a relief and a day I thought would never come :)
In addition to that good news, I miraculously found a job for the summer! We happened to contact the office Steve worked at in the Religion Department at just the right time (we don't usually seem to be in the right place at the right time, so this really was lucky). I will start there this week and continue until we move to DC.
Today I think I almost went into graduate school withdrawal. Don't get me wrong, I am overjoyed to be so close to the finish line, but I came home today and I really didn't have anything to do. Having a neverending list of homework and thesis makes you feel like you're accomplishing something important. Then it all disappears and you realize you have no life. I felt like I was wasting time, but I sat down for an hour to read. My conclusion: I love reading but I need to find other things to do too.

Congratulations on your thesis, sweetie! I'm so proud of you.
Now, if we could just find something to do with all that free time...
You'll have a list a mile long once you start work; enjoy it while it lasts.
I know what you mean about having nothing to do, though. I already have a list for this summer because I know I'll go a little crazy otherwise :)
I'll be joining you shortly with having nothing to do. Only 2 1/2 more weeks until I finish up. yay! Congrats on being done for the time being!
