Fridays are Awesome.

This morning we went to IKEA and managed to walk out spending less than $150. I am proud of myself. The biggest item on my list was a $60 bookcase, which was sorely needed. You can only use those cheap wire cube things for so long before they begin to go south on you. I also invested in a much-needed extra lamp and a nightstand. I am very pleased with how amazing the room looks now:




As if the day couldn't get any better, I went and met with my advisors to ask about graduation and thesis stuff. Turns out the thesis deadline is "soft" - meaning they really don't care WHEN I turn it in. Meaning I have all the time I need now to get the topic, and the director, sorted out. HUGE sigh of relief. Also, should it be necessary, I can always start the thesis work in the spring and defend it in the summer. And there's also a great chance that even though I won't be done with everything until summer session, I can appeal the dean to be able to walk in the graduation ceremonies this spring.

(Hallelujah chorus)

What a great Friday. I should go out and paint the town tonight.
