This afternoon, I officially finished my coursework for my PhD. I am officially exhausted, but very, very excited. A good friend told me before I started my PhD that grad school is more about endurance than intelligence. She's right. 14 classes after I started this endeavor, I'm very tired (emotionally, physically, and intellectually). I know that finishing coursework does not by any means equal done with a PhD, but it's a huge relief.
Tonight I am celebrating with a few friends, but I was so excited to finish that shortly after submitting my final project, I sent a mass email announcing the submission of my final project. For those who think that may have been cheesy, the end of coursework means that I now get to work exclusively on my research for the first time in...well ever!
Now the countdown to ABD begins...
