Well, hello.
I feel like I can breathe again. I turned in my take home yesterday morning, officially ending the written part of comps. This is the song I dedicate to comps:
Since comps has been gooooone...I can breathe for the first tiiiime!
There's still lots of work to do...a month from now, there's an oral defense. And then I have to submit my prospectus. And then I have to defend it...like I said, there's still lots of work to do. But I feel like a weight has been lifted. I've met a major milestone, and it's kind of amazing.
I'm so thankful. All of this time, just fretting about comps, wondering how I was going to ever get through it, and now, here I am. (Just about) on the other side.
Upcoming:
1. A bilingual reading with an Argentine writer. Guess who's reading the English version?
2. A Valentine's Day in a situation of mutual like. For the first time. And I'm wearing my frilly red dress. Guess what his favorite color is?
3. A post-Valentine's Day departmental talent show. Guess who's playing the guitar?
This is the first weekend in a long time that I'm spending without doing one drop of work. Sigh. Enjoying it while I can!
