Is it really about to happen?
I just completed my "Application for Degree", a first step to graduating in May.
Now I just need to:
-- complete my application for a Smithsonian Postdoctoral Fellowship by January 15th to work at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center -- assuming Dr. Denise Breitburg sponsors my application and accepts me as a contributing member of her lab
-- analyze a buttload of data and complete a rough draft of my dissertation by February 6th so my advisor can look it over for me to work more on it
-- defend said dissertation on April 6th and pass my dissertation exam
I can do it. I'm a rock star. *bites nails*
EDIT: Dr. B is interested! Now, just ten days to pull together a research proposal.

onward, as an when you can, in doing what you love.
Well, the Smithsonian post-doc must wait because I need to find some funding sources to pay interns or assistants of my own for my project. Dr. B said she never knows how many interns she'll have each year, and I can't risk not having one or two to myself.
Obviously not defending this semester. Summer -- come hell or high water! Hmm, maybe I shouldn't say that last one.
