Back home from the conference. Weather here is a good 25 degrees warmer than conference city (which is unusual)--pulled out the flip flops today for my first day back in the office. Conference was good--I didn't fall down (yes, that has happened to me before) or say anything too stupid in my presentation. Met some of my new colleagues and fellow bloggers (message to blogger meet-up persons: had a great chat, thanks for taking time to have a drink with me!)
Speaking of the office--I'm back in it. My dissertation is done. My defense presentation is pretty much ready to go (just modified the job talk). I spent hours in airports and on the plane yesterday working on a manuscript that I think will make it out the door this week after another conference with other authors.
The only REAL task in front of me is grading my students' rough drafts (ugh). How will I function without 9 things that are all due yesterday??
Time to get into full graduation party planning and house hunting mode. What a nice change from recent weeks.

Welcome back and I'm glad to hear you have a relatively stress free wait for the defense. I'd have imagined all this last minute tweeking up until the last second.
Oh, and I'd totally look forward to the party planning.
:)
