finished

I did it, I completed and submitted my dissertation! 

It’s a weird thing, I imagined euphoria and celebration.  But since I have finished, my thoughts and actions have really surprised myself.  I’ve been drawn to introspection.  I have been repelled by my computer, hence my silence here.  It’s been a time of reflection and evaluation.  It’s been a rather private time (I submitted about two weeks ago); I barely managed to tell my immediate family, and from that point I have been spending a lot of time on my own just thinking, and putting things in perspective.  During every life transition in the past (graduating high school, college, etc) I made a decision about what I would do next early on so I always had a seamless progression of something ending, and something else beginning.   This is the first time I have come to an ‘end’, so to say, without having a defined ‘beginning’ of something else.

We’ll see where this leads!  I’ll do my best to catch up on some of the posts I’ve promised
