So it's smack in the middle of this long weekend, and I've been catching up on my sleep a lot! Plus being my birthday weekend, there's an added lightness to the days. After a really busy yet productive week, I'm quite relieved for this three-day break. Well, there is typically nothing called a holiday for graduate students, but I've lived by that rule for a long time, that I don't particularly care to break it off now.
The best news for me this week was that I finally managed to get most of my thesis done. I now have a lot of fine-tuning to do, but since I've written quite a lot, I don't need to exercise my grey cells more than needed. I'm beginning to catch the butterflies in my stomach, since there's only a month now for me to graduate. I'll be deciding the dates this week with my advisor.
Happy 4th of July to my US readers! Happy Sunday to the rest of the world!
And if you haven't yet entered my Birthday giveaway, what are you waiting for?

I'm sure it's a relief to you to have most of your thesis done - that's got to feel great! Enjoy your holiday! Good luck with the challenge!
Boy, a birthday and thesis completion during a holiday weekend? You go girl!! I don't look forward to my thesis, glad to hear you got it done. Have a great 4th.
This sounds like a great challenge. I have realized this year that short challenges work best for me, so I'm trying to refrain from joining any longer ones. Glad to hear your thesis is going well!
Thank you for joining the challenge and for posting about it! I think it's going to be fun! I know that having joined a challenge pushes me to read books I might not normally read and that is such a great feeling!
Happy (probably late?) Birthday! Hope it was an awesome one :D Although I don't live in the US, I can still wish you a happy fourth and a great sunday!
It's awesome that you finished your thesis. Hope you're enjoying your break :)
Ah, breaks are good, aren't they? I hope you're enjoying it. That challenge sounds like a good one!
Kathy, it sure feels great. Like a huge pressure is off my chest!
Roseann, thanks! I'm glad this weekend was a real breather!
Ash, I've learned the same lesson too! Took me some trial and error to learn that.
Helen, that's precisely what I am looking to gain from challenges. I've noticed that I've joined a few easy challenges - time to prioritize.
Linna, thank you so much! I sure had a wonderful birthday! :)
Emidy, that challenge sure sounds good to me too! I can't wait to get cracking!
I'll bet you do feel good getting so much done on the thesis! You'll be done before you know it!
If you are feeling comfortable with your thesis at this point in time, the rest of the month will be a breeze for you! How exciting to be almost done!!
