Out of my Hands
I am pleased to report that my exams are now complete - off my desk, out of my hands, in the hands of committee members who will at some future date pronounce judgement on my effort.
They are not great writing efforts. I would do things differently on all of them. But I learned a lot about myself, my interests, and my abilities in going through this process. It was hard and I will always think I could have done better.
So now I have a year old seminar paper that is past due to be crafted into an article, and an older than that paper to be crafted into a different article, and a prospectus to start work on, and a Cs proposal for next year. But all that will wait, at least one week. I need to re-enter my own life again and do some stuff that's been backing up all around me. A little cleaning, a little filing, a little organizing, some errands to run, service appointments of several kinds to schedule, friends to play with, a life partner to be nice to and do stuff with, some means of restoring balance. Then I can return to studenthood.
Thanks to everybody who supported and tolerated me these past months, especially GR, whose house todo list is among the many things that have been waiting for this process to be done. We can finish moving in now. Really we can.
