woo hoo woo hoo woo hoo!!!

I passed my oral defense! I'm now officially ABD!*^ Eeeeeee!!! *runs around like an idiot*

* = All But Dissertation.
^ = not ADB (which is what I typed the first time), which is A Dog's Breakfast. Still cool, but different.


My excitement cannot be contained by text!

And now if you'll excuse me...




I am going to go play some golf!



Or maybe just pass out :>

Thank you!!! This was actually the unpleasant thing this morning that had me so happy to read penguin!John and Rodney today ♥♥♥

And on a shallow fangirlish note: Such pretty lighting for John! *squees*

Mmmmmmph. He is pretty in all kinds of lighting, but this especially, yis.

I'm glad it was such good timing, then. :)

Hee! The actual process was not too horrible once it got started (although people were late and then they had to talk about how we were going to do things *flaps*), but the entire morning I was steadily freaking myself out until I was all, "okay, you are going to sit down and read fic and stop freaking yourself out," and then I saw PENGUINS and was all \o/

You're making me blush SO HARD! :D

*squishes*

But yeah, I remember my own oral exam (though it wasn't for something as nifty as getting a degree) and how psyched I was before I finally got called in. And then it was almost disappointingly easy. ;)
