So much to do! So little time! I think this will be the motto of my 2013.
The good news is that the new volume of WisCon Chronicles has been released.
The other good news is that I've sorted more paper (I said I wouldn't, but then I got all kinds of jumpy, so I did).
The other, other good news is that the processing of my PhD examiners' reports and etc is all done and I just have to get a letter in the mail, have that letter processed and I will graduate. This makes my graduation somewhere between next week and September, as I read it. I'm down on the university website as a graduate already, however, and it was a change in my status there that led to me investigating and finding out I can apply for the ceremony (or, in this case, for graduation in absentia). Perth is so far from Canberra that the letter telling me all this is still in the mail...
This means that tomorrow (when I post that letter, and spend my time from 5.25 pm until about 2 am in various meetings and things) is officially the day my life could change. Or, as I keep reminding myself, it could all fizzle out. I don't want it to fizzle out. I'm all dynamised and excited and want the changes. I'm not someone who really likes change, normally, but for some reason I've got an inner drive for this. That 'some reason' might be because I know what I want to do with the rest of my life and I know I will enjoy it and the various things lined up tomorrow could make it happen earlier... or I might have to delay it if they don't work so well. Delays will mean physical discomfort (because of the first meting tomorrow, which concerns my flat) as well as emotional, so, just this once, I want things to be wildly good. The knowledge that the final of the PhD has been properly accepted is a very nice start, actually. And that I have an interesting publication to my credit.
