Countdown

As I sit here waiting out my on-call day (I'm clear at 6:30, though I have to stay until 7. Hope I'm not jinxing myself!) I have a mental clock in my head ticking down the hours until my dissertation defense. As today has been relatively mild, work-crisis wise (now I have jinxed myself, I'm sure), I have actually had time to think about what it might mean to me to be a doctor.

Well, really, I've had time to think that it might mean something to me; the what is still pending. Thursday is the big day- 3:30pm the hour. Think of me...

Meanwhile, afterwards, we'll be going out so that M can receive his congratulations.
