I filed on Thursday.
(definitely forgot to bring the large envelopes with my title page and abstract stapled to the outside that not included in any of the filing instructions. the mean lady scolded me for not knowing about the secret envelopes and then said it didn't matter since she had a lot of leftover ones. fun.)
You must now all address me as Dr. Alix or Dr. Knowledge or Professor Cupcake.
I have, since the deed, done in no particular order, the following:
Drank.
Had a conversation with the produce guy at Pavillions in which he tried to convince me to become an elementary school principal.
Caught up with some friends on the phone (poor Kate, hopefully she's not still stuck at BWI)
Journeyed to San Gabriel.
Been hit with waves of panic that Thursday was all a dream and I have now missed the filing deadline.
Felt the faint stirrings of post-partum depression.
Made phone calls about shipping pianos (had a nice chat with a guy named Vince).
Passed out in a gutter. Maybe. That part is hazy.
Slept so much that my eyes now itch.
[segue here out of list format]
Which, well, its been two days now of itchy eyes and its starting to really bother me. What could it be? I think I'm going blind. In fact, I'm sure of it. Sloane will be the worst guide dog ever. She doesn't look before crossing the street and mostly just guns for open garbage cans.
My roommate came back this last week to move the last of her stuff out. So now I have the complete run of a two bed/two bath apartment. I'm thinking of setting up a giant Candyland board.
Oooh! Oooh! So now that I can think beyond my dissertation filing I can think about leaving LA. I'm moving out of this apartment in two weeks (eep!) and out to Mississippi (I learned this weekend from Dr. Ron that locals refer to it as "The 'sip") at the end of July. Soooo, I need to do all the touristy LA things I've managed to miss out on in the eleven years (Jebus) that I've lived here. So I'm taking suggestions. Here's what I've got so far:
1. SoCal taco tour
2. make-out with celebrity under 45
3. I guess the Getty Villa, LACMA, etc.
4. San Gorgonio/Mt. Baldy
5. Working up the nerve to tell off that mean librarian in Biomed. Seriously, I want her spirit-broken and crying.
