Wednesday morning I successfully defended my thesis. All that's left is some signatures on my dissertation. Yay!

It's my birthday today!

All I want for my birthday is a completed thesis. (I'm working on it!)

I finished my Area Exam paper yesterday, hurrah hurrah. I've still got a stressful month ahead of me, but that's one more box checked on my way to PhD-land.

The Red Sox were supposed to join in my celebration by winning the series, but something appears to have gone wrong on that front. =(

Today Martin (my marvellous advisor) decreed a "PowerPoint standard" for presentations for our group (which he also renamed "PAC" in a fit of pique --- more on that later). Didn't take Patrick more than 2 hours to come up with our new power-point *replacement*: MagicPoint.

Yay!
