I printed it. I went to New York. I’m copying it and mailing it today. I did all the important things in New York. Went to the Museum of Art and FAO Schwartz. Wandered through Central Park, followed by dinner at Friday’s. Doesn’t everyone go to Friday’s when they go to New York? Geeky Girl completely passed out in the car on the way home. We walked at least 6 miles yesterday. That’s a lot for a 7-year old with short legs.

I don’t yet feel completely celebratory about finishing the dissertation. I am pretty sure I’ll be asked to do some revisions. I don’t think they’ll be major, but who knows. It seems like there’s always another form to fill out, which drives me crazy. Until there are no more of those, I won’t be satisfied. My defense is not scheduled yet. The earliest date is May 14. The latest date is July. So I could be hanging out for a few weeks or a couple of months. I’m hoping for May. I’d like to get this whole thing over with. Then, I’ll celebrate.
