suggested track: "life's blood" by eighteen visions

i just finished my orals a little over an hour ago. they went very well. i was scared shitless, and my committee threw in they're shots, but overall it went well. i stuck to my guns and defended my work pretty well. not nearly as scary as i thought. i pretty much thought they would kick the shit out of me for about an hour and a half, but they didn't really. they seemed really pleased with the answers i gave, and afterwards they told me how good of a job i did with my show. they had a lot of praise for it. feels pretty damn good. so that's one master's down, one more to go.

some bittersweet news: i got a P.A. for next year, which means i can go back to school. the bad news is it's a job i fucking hate. so now i have to spend another year toiling around in the DPS. it's going to make me a very bitter and cranky individual. even more so than now. also, it will stress the hell out of me. i think a lot of people are not going to want to be my friend after next year, because i can already see myself screaming and yelling at everyone. oh well, i'm a bonafide master now. all bow before me.
