It still hasn’t sunk in. It is early Tuesday morning after Thanksgiving weekend and I am still in Dallas. No more dreading waking up early to drive to airport. No more weekend visits. I am home and home is Dallas.
So, back to the defense. The whole day was a blur. There are no photos of the defense itself. (It being an academic examination and all.) I have, however, uploaded several photos from the surrounding events. The public defense started at 1pm and the private defense ended at 4pm. The department held a small reception immediately afterward. After the reception my former PI (Advisor) took my family out to dinner. Kyllan and I managed to grab a few hours of sleep before hitching a u-haul to the back of the truck and hitting the road. When we arrived in town we had just enough time to prepare for Thanksgiving. Things are beginning to wind down but, like I said, it still hasn’t sunk in.
… at least they got you a cake. Congrats again! Can’t wait to come visit.
You had a graduation date the day you started your program. I would have traded you.
