Defended my thesis today and it went near perfect. Guess who is the most useless kind of dr now.
Plan on staying absolutely obliterated for the next couple of days got all my ducks in a row and not stepping foot outside of my house till at least Friday.
Also, I just received an email from a professor ( she's also the first woman to get a PhD in math from Harvard ) whose classes I took during my first year( group theory, commutative algebra and galois theory none of which are as relevant in my area of research ).
I hadn't spoken to her since then ( life gets in the way and also she's been fairly sick so she doesn't come to the campus as often ).
Apparently she loved me in her lectures. Legitimately this made my day more than passing the defense did.
It was an extremely heartfelt email asking me about how I'm doing and what my future plans are and also she asked me to keep in touch.
I legitimately almost cried.
Anyway, I don't really have folks I could share this stuff with so putting it out here.
Chairs ye fellow degenerates!
