Butterflies are beautiful creatures out in the wild. In my stomach, not so much. When next I write, I hope to be able to share that I’ve successfully defended my thesis. The meeting will be in about two hours.

I can handle this (thinking positively). I’ve talked to audiences of 50 people and responded to questions. I can certainly talk about my own work with three people who want me to do well, right?

Update: pass!

I think it went well. I’ve got a few revisions/edits to make by the end of the week, but I’m one step closer to being finished! Yeah! Life is good. :)
