But still, I am not looking forward to the after-celebrations of these defenses, when faculty ask me "It's your turn next, right?" or "When are you graduating?" or "You aren't defending this month too?"
I have been slyly avoiding answering those questions for years, actually, but now I am just tired of it. So, I am trying to figure out the best crafted response. The contenders at the moment are:
"I'm graduating this summer"
"I ask myself that question every day"
"I am writing right now"
"This year has been complicated, but I look forward to defending this summer"
"Fuck off"
"I decided to get as much free food as possible and then I'm joining the circus, suckers!"
"I think you left your car lights on"
It probably won't be that bad, it's just awkward because I am so close to being done, but not quite there. There is a particular person who seems to make it a point to interrogate me about my progress randomly and remind me how much work I still have to do. I just smile and take it, but I really just want to go fart in their office and walk away.
In other news, I am completely addicted to Dancing with the Stars. I absolutely love watching these celebrities step completely out of their comfort zones to try dancing. My favorite at the moment is Adam Corolla, who is not a very good dancer, but he gives it his all and looks like he is having fun with it, even if it isn't perfect. I voted for him, twice. Yeah, I said it. I voted for couples on Dancing with the Stars, and I am only slightly ashamed to admit it!
So far still no summer job, I got all dressed up in my fancy hire-me clothes, and the offices were closed on Friday! D'oh! There is always this week.

How did it go? Did you run from them running and screaming? Did you respond politely while gnashing your teeth? Was it better than you expected?
