Today I defended my dissertation successfully. There are bureaucratic steps that remain for me, and I do need to put my thesis together into a copy fit for submission, but I am basically done with graduate school.

Thanks for all your support.

YAY!!!

And what was page count? :)

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

The contest will be for the submission copy. It'll be in the mid-400s somewhere.

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

My guess was 448, wasn't it?

450 something (it's on my other PC). It's between you and Mr. Keever, I think.

Oooh, yay!! YAY!!!!!

What was prize again for those of us who guessed right, doctor?

Was it...MORE PIE?

He gives the winner a copy of the dissertation.

The losers all have to give him pie.

Congratulations!

Sure, but what have you done for me lately?

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Well, I ate a lot of pie. No, wait, that was for me!

[jbru.livejournal.com]

My point exactly. You remain useless to me, title or no title. (Unless you wanted to give me ride to the Summit shindig tomorrow. Then you might have value as a human being.)

Sorry. He has to go with me to a wedding. Not ours.

[jbru.livejournal.com]

Piffle. Will Cake be at the reception? Will Richard Thompson? This sounds like a highly inferior wedding.

HUZZAH!

So do we start calling you Dr. P. immediately, or is there some kind of ritual yet to be performed?

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Technically, I have to be granted the Ph.D. from the University, which will happen in December. But I can officially start using the title now. So, whatever. :)

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

That's Dr. Lollardfish to us!

Serious, we're delighted for you. Congratulations!

Huzzah! Well done, Doctor!

[minnehaha.livejournal.com]

Quick. Alert the Strib to add "Dr." to your name.

I, uh, just told them I was a "visiting professor at Macalester." They can do the math. I might have had to alert them if I didn't pass :)

Congrats!

[lee-os.livejournal.com]

This means you'll have boatloads of free time now, and can slack off like the rest of us?

[lollardfish.livejournal.com]

Yup! Right after I ...

1 - finish the dissertation final submission
2 - apply to about 20 jobs
3 - design two new classes for the spring
4 - revise the dissertation for a book
5 - write 2 articles in the next year
6 - prepare a few conference presentations
7 - write 3 encyclopedia articles on world history stuff
8 - raise my son to adulthood
9 - get tenure
10 - research and write my second book ...

uhhhhh ... I'll get back to you on that slacker thing in a few years. :)
