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.

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

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. :)
