HOORAY! It's finally over! I am a free woman, for a few days at least. It's so nice not to have a research paper hanging over my head. The only thing now is the math department newsletter and a communication audit I'm preparing for the North Carolina Humanities Council. Then of course, I start my job writing articles for the journalism school's publication. Then a few weeks after that I'll start working on donor projects for the Arts and Sciences Foundation. Before it's over, I'll be working 40 hours a week, and trying to work on my thesis at the same time! It's never going to end, is it?
