What's Next?

I was on a West Wing quotes hunt last night and found tonight's title. It's a repeated line for "I'm bored with this now, let's do something else for a while." My first recollection of the phrase was a flashback to the first presidential campaign, when his advisors are explaining the process for the primaries. The story really isn't important, and the quote really stands on its own. I just wanted it as my title tonight because I PASSED MY THESIS DEFENSE. I'm on to what's next. Yes, that was a really convoluted way of making the point that I PASSED MY THESIS DEFENSE, but have you been reading this site at all? Convoluted is what I do. It's my thing.

There was a minor issue (read: huge hassle) about the time of the defense. It was supposed to be at 1 this afternoon, but Dr. Moeller and Dr. Schulz needed to reschedule a test (of the same rig that my data came from) for 12:30, so they wanted to move the defense to last from 2 to 3. The secretary heard that as "move the defense from 2 to 3" (which is probably what was said) and interpreted it as "defense is at 3 now." I really didn't care what time the defense was, except for being really hot in my suit, so that didn't bother me so much as just annoy me that things were changing. Lee said his head would have exploded due to the change. As close as I was to finishing this thing, nothing was going to stop me today. Not a 100 degree room; not an evil projector that didn't like to fit the screen; not Dr. Vakili trying to kill said projector while trying to make it fit the screen; not Lee, Heather, and Amy stealing the chocolates I left for the professors; not me making things up as I went along. But it's done. I PASSED MY THESIS DEFENSE.

Now, I'm going to go to sleep and not waking up for a week. Maybe 10AM. More tomorrow.
