Physics Masters Thesis Defended!
I am a Master now. (I will let you infer any words you like after Master). My final draft has been submitted to my committee and my defense went off like a charm yesterday morning. With some luck all three people will sign off on this copy and I can go on to be properly punished sanctioned by the thesis standards office.
Thank you to everyone in my life who has supported me during my journey, but especially to my husband Mike. Love to you all!

Okay, you're welcome. Just don't get all diva on us now that you have the advanced degree:
"Today I knit three Reusable Produce Bags using hand-spun that was optimized for maximum tension using a theoretically determined pitch angle and mass per unit diameter, then hand-solved a fifty-seven-point stress analysis of the finished product, which was really little more than an overdetermined matrix which I set up using the Principle of Virtual Work and solved using QR factorization, all while keeping Maya from eating the snot she pulled from her nose.
"What did *you* do today?"
