Oh and for heaven's sake...

I really should mention, even though I wanted to wait til I could upload a photo, but since my computer is momentarily dead, and I can't do that, I should take just a second, a brief line, to say... I passed my exams! I'm ABD!

Yay!

I agonized and and stressed for several weeks and when they told me that I passed, I was relieved for about 4 seconds before I just incorporated that relief into the larger realization that in "All but dissertation", BUT looms much larger than ALL.

Seriously though.

Yay!
