It’s been 8 years since I busted any library ghosts but this felt like a good time for a reboot. #halloween2025

Well, it was a helluva thing getting this done, and I had to make some drastic format changes in the process but my dissertation has officially been approved by the grad school, a week before graduation!

It’s almost like orange cats have been genetically engineered to be the handsomest cats ever. Also, this is Braax. He’s 18 years old, 16.5 pounds, and tall enough that hobbits could ride him into battle. He’s my best boy 💖

After 12 years in school, 5 of those in a PhD program, and 2 of those creating my dissertation, I am finally defended and done. It was a long damn road full of a lot of self-doubt so hearing these words was absolute magic for my heart.

Welp, I've written/published the last of my dissertation and I defend on Monday, so, of course, my geriatric orange cat has decided to stomp all over things with a potentially bad diagnosis in his back right leg. Never forget that Braax is the KING, even when he's wobbly from sedation and biopsies.
