Yes!

My baby girl dissertation is now out there in the world to fend for herself! I survived the Graduate School submission examination! Nacole made me promise to take a picture, so here she is, just before she went into her envelope! Sorry Nacole, no pink bow.

I had to buy new paper this morning, then run over to Office Max, then run back to campus, wait for "the verdict", and then take the approved copies over to the library. Whew! But I did it and it's finally out of my hands! For real! I'm so happy.

I got to spend a little quality time with some people from my Department, which was nice. I'm going to miss everyone there, but I promise to keep in touch! Oh, and I turned in my keys. You know it's final when you turn keys in...

Now I just need to finish packing...
