It's In!

I turned in my dissertation today, a full 2 days early! Thank goodness I did not wait until Friday because the binding store was already busy, and the formatting came out wrong at first, and then I had to change a page. But it's in now!!! Walking into Exams Schools, I felt sort of nervous about handing over 50% of my grade, but walking out, I was massively relieved! As soon as a I got back into my room, I put away ALL of my dissertation notes, binders, articles, etc - they're hidden in boxes and behind dressers, and my room looks fabulously clean. I could not bring myself to throw away my sticky notes, but they've been hidden too. (I will have to use some of this for studying for exams, but that's another day :) ).

After the big moment, I met up with friends for lunch, shopped for a mask for the Venetian Ball on Saturday, and now am going to the gym with Nadia. Tonight, we're having a house showing of The Apprentice (British version of course). And no work at all!! And it's warm enough to wear a sun dress! Overall, an incredible day. I am waiting to cross off "Turn in Dissertation" from my planner until I can really savor the moment (actually I get to do it three time because it's written on three days, just in case I could possibly forget haha).

Ok, I can't write any more, but I do want to say thank you to you all for your support and prayers over this entire process - from my very first meeting with my supervisor. Love you family!
