She's all grown up!

I went to my friend's dissertation defense today. She and I were roommates freshman year in college. She stayed where we did our undergrad to do her PhD. I can not imagine having spent a decade in one place (other than with my parents) at this point in my life. :)

ANYWAY. It was a bright, sunny, and warm day and I now know a little more about what she's been working on.

Congratulations, Carolyn, on getting that thing written and defended!

Yay! Thanks!!! It sure feels a lot better to be on this side of things. Thanks for making the trek down, Jenski!!

It is so heartwarming when people finish. A reminder that there IS a light at the end of the tunnel.

Yay to all of the above, especially that I could make it Caro! [Especially the reminder, Ern.]
