wahhhhhhh (in a good way, allegedly)

My dissertation is in and my advisor responded to my anxious meltdown email about it by congratulating me on the achievement and telling me to get some rest and relaxation if I can.

I feel like both laughing and crying at this point, honestly. It's much too short because, despite the amount of time I've spent on it, I am an extremely glacial writer (probably not news to any of you l o l) and there will be a lot of work in the two-week revision time frame. But I appreciate being told to chill in a very nice way.

In a good way indeed! It's IN and that's a huge achievement!

Congratulations! And I hope you can rest a bit.

Congratulations!!! When I handed mine in I wandered around the department asking the other Phd students if they'd finished their dissertations yet because I'd finished mine(*), you are not as obnoxious as 20-something me but should definitely take a moment to feel very proud of yourself :)

(*)sticking to those I knew had only been working on theirs for less than 3 years, because I'm not a monster

Congratulations! I feel like I've been following along with you for this entire process--glad to see you've made it!
