and the flowerbed

happiness happiness. it is a strange and elating thing to write the last word of your dissertation, and feel it as the last word, and click the save button and then the little x of the word program and close your laptop and then be done. it is a strange and elating thing, even if the little dissertation isn't much to speak of, it's still mine and it still has its last word. and what did I do? I walked outside into the daylight with a just opened bottle of gingerale and I breathed. I walked. and I drank my gingerale and it was good.

of course, tomorrow I'll print it out and start tweaking away. but tonight? tonight, I'm going to drink mojitos!!!
