I have heard Cam's call for a blog update and am trying to respond. However, my life seems so boring. Oh, here's something. I turned my thesis into my committee last Thursday! I will defend it on Thursday, March 1 at 10:00 am. Then, providing I pass, I will make the corrections advised by the committee and fill out all the paperwork, forms, etc... to graduate. That's it! Then, I'm done. Crazy. Of course, there's always the next step of figuring out what to do with myself that's a little daunting, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Let's see, what else...Michael and I bought a new-to-us couch yesterday. I love it. Our old couch was $5, so there was a lot to improve upon. Every time I walk by it, it makes me happy. Since our apartment is quite small, it makes me happy a lot. To make my life sound less boring, I wrote a haiku about it, which spawned a proverb.
Ode to a New Couch
I cussed when you fell
on my toe. But you make my
bum very happy.
Proverb: A short toe pain is worth long term bum comfort.
Mayhaps I should write a limerick about finishing my thesis.
There once was a student named Teri,
whose thesis was oh so contrary.
It was so hard to write,
her life it did blight,
and when it was done she made merry.
