back in the uk

i made it back to england this past friday and am still trying to shake the jetlag and get back into the productivity groove. my dissertation defense is friday morning, and i am preparing all this week. i feel very confident in my knowledge of and the quality of my submitted work. at this point, i am just anxious to get the game started and show what i know.

more updates to come this week. it's kinda funny how i've been waiting for the moment since i started my phd in 2005, and it is finally here!!! we've come a mighty long way, and the end is right there. don't give up now. finish strong ant. finish strong!!!!

let's GOOOOOOOOOOO.
