buoyant

Done. Done. Done. Done. Done. Done.

The portfolio is complete and has been sent to the first two members of my committee.
I feel like a different person. I'm half between tears and calling everyone I know. It's a strange excitement: Calm and unencumbered. Suddenly the laundry, the dishes, the grading and getting to bed by eleven all seem mutually attainable.
It was 17 days off of our latest schedule, but I'm so happy to have it completed that I don't even care.
I'm hoping for a full out pass, but I have to remember that revisions won't be the end of the world.
To celebrate I'm going to do the aforementioned chores and paint my nails with my present to myself for finishing: OPI malaga wine.
It's the little things I get to do that make the big things seem so worth it.

On the docket and tentative revised schedule:

Wish me luck.
