Here's what I wrote on the D-House blog today:
-0 days, 0 hours, 0 minutes!
Did someone page Dr. Alexis Williams?
It is official. I still have a bunch to do in terms of revisions but I will do it as Dr. Williams. They can’t take it back and I don’t have to defend EVER AGAIN!! Whew! That was intense. But they don’t just hand these things out, so it is good that they challenge me to make it better.
This quote was on a card I received yesterday: “I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes
So the important thing now is to keep moving. I will make sure to celebrate this day that I have dreamed of, feverishly-longingly-sometimes even hopelessly, but I will also keep moving because the journey is the goal. If the degree itself were the goal, we’d all just die at the end. Thank God I am here and I am still alive to do more each day!
