Just busy

You know, they usual: not dead, just busy.

There's of course work, but also, in four days or so, I'm defending my PhD thesis. And that kind of has a lot of stuff I need to take care of.

Speeches both in the defence and in the after-party, seating arrangements at the after-party, seating cards, finding out what everyone is eating and communicating that to the restaurant, taking the theses to the university, agreeing with the opponent about schedules... Fortunately things are under control, it's starting to look like I'll be done with everything in time. And also I suppose it's a good thing I'm busy with the arrangements, so I don't have time to panic about the defence itself. ;)

So yup, I'm still alive. I hope that's still the case after Thursday. :D

It will be okay. *cheers* Katri, Katri, she's our man! If she can't do it, NO ONE can! Goooooooo Katri! *jumps up and down, shaking pom-poms*

Enjoy the after-party! :D

Glad to hear from you, Katri. And glad to hear the situation about your thesis is under control.

Good luck on the speech!
