It's my birthday, and so I get to reflect on the past year.
I did a lot this last year. I wrote a 400-page dissertation, and successfully defended it. I got a job, at least for now. I got my Ph.D. I taught 2 classes as an Assistant Professor. I moved. I got a puppy, and began training her. It's a lot for one year. It'll probably take a while to absorb all the changes. But I'm proud of myself for leaping off those cliffs, and so far, the paragliding seems pretty fun, though like a lot of hard work.
Now I get to watch O Brother Where Art Thou for work, make crepes with my husband for breakfast, open presents, relax, paint glass Christmas ornaments, and then go out for a lovely dinner.
