I graduated! (& other news)

I definitely thought it was possible, but there was many a time during the process of getting across that stage that I wanted to give up. And now that it's happened, it doesn't seem real.  I've spent so long striving for it, surely I havn't done enough yet? Surely there is more left to do?

But no. I finished my thesis. 55 or so pages, + 20 pages of appendixes. Against all of my expectations, I received honors for it, and it's now chilling in it's permanent home in the library. I edited my last Backpage, designed my last WEB poster, bound my last notebook, packed my last box.

Here are a few pictures from the end. I only wish I had more. But, I'm not sad. I know I'll see the people that matter most to me again. Now I'm free to pursue bigger things (like a 6 week publishing intensive at NYU that starts tomorrow!).
