c_for_characters finished my defense! Everything seems like it went well and I just have to make sure all the paperwork goes through...?

HURRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU MASTER YOU

it hasn't fully sunk in, and i'm not sure how long it will be, but yeah, I guess so huh? XD

YOU DID IT.

i've no idea WHAT i'm going to do after this, considering how awful this whole experience was and the general state of things today, but... yeah, I have that under my belt at least XD

things to put on my resume: 'when on the wire, can write 3 chapters of a thesis in under 3 months, but will hate you forever if you make them do that'

Hey, you've got a ticket to your field anywhere in North America. It's such a huge deal in the long run.

god i hope so. I just have to find an area that isn't actually hurting my health to work there haha

True. But let it sink in a for a bit. You've achieved something tremendous, and contributed to the knowledge of humanity in the process

Copy of FINDING THE HUMAN: HIDDEN DISABILITIES IN ST...

the full thing, baring any miscellaneous edits i might have to do for template or whatever

bahaha, I don't know about contributing to the knowledge of humanity, but hopefully other people can look at my subject and realize they can study whatever they want and be valid XD

But you did. It's knowledge and analysis never before seen or produced

You have made contribution.

And you're right. Others can be inspired by your work.
