On my thesis, that is. Despite appearances to the contrary, I’m still committed to writing in my blog. Maybe now that that 77½-page monster is done and dusted I’ll be more inclined to put a few words here now and then. I still have to defend the thesis on the 27th, but after that my program is over. I’d be a liar if I said that I wasn’t more than a little sad about the whole thing ending. With any luck, I’ll be admitted into a Ph.D. program, but the application process doesn’t start until the fall, so I’ll have a few months of free time, regardless. Ideally, I want to continue in Uppsala, but there’s no sense putting the cart before the horse in talking about that, as I don’t technically even have a master’s degree yet.

On all other fronts, life is well. It’s heading, ever so slowly, into summer here, so I’m pretty happy about that. I never would have dreamed ten years ago–or five years, even–but I’ve come to love the round-the-clock daylight, and this period of anticipation, when it’s just getting dusk for a couple of hours, is positively delicious. The only thing I hate about it now is how quickly it all goes away.
