Thesis Defense Done... But the editing continues

I know I've been a terrible person and slacking on writing on this blog but I have a good excuse, I swear! I was crazy busy for the last few weeks prepping and preparing for my thesis defense which happened on Tuesday. I did not sleep on Sunday or Monday night from nerves. So first things first, yes I did pass. There is a note though. It was "with qualifications" which is a fancy way to say, "hey, you know what you are talking about and can articulate it well but there are some problems with your thesis, so fix those and then you're done." So I still have to deal with the paper and the committee (whee) but you know, at least I got the defense out of the way.
I flew up to UT on Monday evening and stayed with my younger sister-in-law who is finishing up at BYU. Also, I got to see another good friend of mine while there. So on Monday night I got to eat Tucanos... SOOOO GOOD. It is a Brazilian Churrasco which means they cook meat on swords and bring them around and slice off little pieces for you at your table. Best thing there is the pineapple. Seriously, love it. Then Tuesday morning I was up at 3AM... not good. So I tried meditating in corpse pose since sometimes I can fall asleep doing that. Nope. Did not happen. So my defense was at 9AM and my sister-in-law came up with me. She attended the defense which was so nice of her. I was terrified. However, I impressed them with my answers and sheer amount of work I put into the thesis (there is a lot of Latin text I had to read....). Then my committee chair took us out to lunch at Brick Oven. Yum yum yum. So good.
I then got to enjoy spending time with my friend and sister-in-law until I came home Wednesday night. We played mini croquet - sounds weird but was really fun. We ate at good places. Loved Zupas mushroom soup and the BBQ at Wallaby's hit the spot.
Now I just have tons of editing to do on the thesis. At least I don't have the cloud of the defense hanging over my head, right?
