QUOTE(mplantinga @ Mar 7 2007, 10:02 PM)  Greetings all. I've been unbearably busy in RL lately, but I thought I'd stop in and say hi.
HI.
Okay, I guess I can go now.
But really, I wanted to share something exciting with my online family: if all goes according to plan, I will defending my Ph.D. thesis on Monday. That means that on Monday night (if all goes well), you can call me:
Dr. Planty
I hope that all goes well. I'm a bit nervous right now, as there are a couple professors that I know are going to give me a hard time. And somehow I don't think that challenging them to a duel in the IC arena will help me out. I'll just have to hope that I have enough intelligence and willpower to best them in the intellectual arena.
Hi friend! I´m very happy to see you around again..I´ve missed you, you know! How exciting to defend your PhD! I guess there will be one big celebration monday evening then? When I went to university, I always tried to visit as many of those things as I could! First; it was interesting! Second; You actually could learn something new, Third; There was always some nice champagne and snacks right afterwards ...and last but not least; Usually I managed to get invited to the big party in the evening.. Why? do you ask, well I was probably considered an asset to a party..... Rest assure I´ll be thinking of you on monday! And I´ll keep my fingers crossed, but I´m convinced you´ll do just great! Go for it Dr Planty!

Thanks for all the words of support and encouragement. For now, I can use all I can get. At least its only a few more days and then it will be all over.
I should have more time soon, but not immediately. I'll be moving next Thursday to go stay with some friends for a bit while I look for a job. They do have dial-up internet, but being their house and all, I'm not yet sure how easy it will be for me to get online. But I'll definitely try to be here more once I've settled in over there.
@Minque: You, an asset to a party? My imagination can come up with many reasons, but somehow I doubt that the majority of them are actually true. Perhaps we should just hope that you were a great conversationalist. Of course, I'll bet that being a woman probably helped, male scientists being the clueless, socially inept people many of us are (hopefully not me, but I'll leave that judgment up to you).
