Need An "Acomplishment" Forum?...My Thesis Defense

I completed it today. What an enormous relief. It's been ardous, made extra, by pandemic conditions.

Some days my accomplishment is heating up pizza, but today was a good day.

I had planned it in-person, but conditions dictated it to be virtual. So it's less fanfare, but that is ok. I can go straight to the kitchen and make a bloody mary to celebrate!

I still have 2 classes left to graduate, however the worst is over.

In my field this always happens and after we defend, we have to clean up/ touch up the thesis manuscript before final submission. I found that process quite relaxing after all the years of pressure and arduous work.

That is in process, but so far appears minimal. Fingers crossed.
I feel exactly what you are saying, it will be relaxing by comparison!

I'm so glad this is a holiday week!

Is Apparel Product Development & Merchandising Technology.
So my topic was Product Development. I did an internship with a performance apparel company, their product geared towards equestrian competitors.

Very interesting. Learned a lot about those sports.
And I love horses, so big benefit there.
