all I can really think about

IS that in a couple days I'm defending my thesis.

In the meantime I have learned the best news yet, that I have a job starting in August, where I'm at now, which was my first choice. I didn't post about it right away because I am a little superstitious. I didn't want to 'jinx' myself. Deep down, I guess I don't really believe anything like that, but it just didn't feel right to write anything at the moment I first learned the news.

I've been told lately that at times I seem a little off, distracted, maybe even depressed. I only hope that it's a side effect of finishing my thesis and degree program.
