I turned in my dissertation for formatting on Thursday last week. I was pretty frantic until then, working until 7PM every night to get everything done. Friday I was busy as well, making copies for all my committee members. But this weekend was very calm and stress-free. Kelly and I relaxed and played around for most of it. We made dinner for Kelly's family on Saturday and it turned out great. Kelly made an awesome soup, and I made some big pumpkin muffins. As a side dish, I went out and picked up this super spicy kung pao cabbage from our local chinese restaurant (which we love because the food is great and it's usually empty).

Now for the next two weeks my priority is to create my defense talk and practice!
