yay yay yay!

Finally finally finally, I'm through my field exams, and I am one more step closer to being Dr. aesc!




Only, you know, with less astrophysics. But. I do have the orange fleece and a REALLY REALLY HUGE GRIN on my face.

Now, I am going to finish my wine and spend some time in bed.



And I know this is completely ridiculous and a sad sign of where my priorities are, but I'm really really excited about being able to write about something that involves more boys than a lot of my current material does.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY! Congrats! :)

*twirls you about!*

YAY!!!!!!

As someone who had a freakout and flaked on her master's degree majorly, I salute you. Grad school is all about endurance.

Grad school is all about endurance.

Either that or realizing that you really aren't good for much else other than reading petrified languages :D

Not sure how much rest you'd get lying between THOSE two hot bodies. Yum.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Well, you will note I did mention the bed, but nothing about sleep ;)

[mrkinch.livejournal.com]

I'm so glad to hear it! Really big grin here, too!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Eeeee, thank you!

Come to think of it, I think we've known each other for almost as long as I've been in higher education... definitely since my junior year of undergrad, which is... going on eight years now.

That's kind of strange :D

Congratulations!!! Yay for being done and wine and really huge grins!!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! Well, there is still the small matter of the dissertation, but out of everything the exams definitely seem to be the most stressful part of the endeavor :)

*meeps joyfully* Thank you!

Congrats! I walked off the stage, diploma case in hand for a soon-to-be-mailed MLS and thought No more school for me. EVER. So I am impressed with your mad crazy skills.

Hurrah for you! Go forth and dream of squishy astrophysicists and smirky flyboys.

I think at this point it's kind of like when you're lost and think if you just keep going you will somehow become un-lost, and it's a completely irrational assumption, but :D

[dancink.livejournal.com]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*HUGS!* Thank you!!

Eureka! :D

[rilestar.livejournal.com]

Go, you rockstar! Having become grossly disillusioned with both my supervisor and academia halfway through Honours, I'm vastly impressed by your sticktoitiveness (that's a word, right? I mean, you're the Enlish Lit person - my forte was philosophy.)

Enjoy your wine and your SGA dreams - we'll enjoy having you around a bit more often!

And I *love* that first picture of Rodney!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*hugs!* It always sucks hearing that academia gets people down--not that I think it's great and perfect and unblemished, but that the institution can really be an impediment to people pursuing what they like.

I try to treat it like fandom as much as I can: ignore the wank and keep my head down. Usually it works :D

*HUGEST HUGS FOR JENNS!*

[bergann.livejournal.com]

Congratulations :D

My icon is grinning big for you (and so am I) :P

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Awwww, thank you! At various stages today, I have grinned rather hugely myself :D

[let-fate-decide.livejournal.com]

Yay! *claps*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Thank you soooo much! :)

*snuffles you!* Thank you!

[rinsbane.livejournal.com]

Oh, fantastic! To think you were just a wee little thing applying to school for this. *wipes tear from eye* So GO YOU! I'm so excited for you. *rugbytackles*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Heeee!!! I was! I was but a wee MA student when we met :D

[winkingstar.livejournal.com]

YAY! :D I think it would be so cool to be a Dr. winkingstar, but alas, I feel that completing my master's will be the extent of my higher education. I salute you for bravely soldiering on through the years of academia! *salutes* :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]
