I have made a deposit.

Of one dissertation.

Finito.

Caput.

Done.

No more infinite regress revisions.

I don't have to go to work all day and come home and work all night.

I don't have to depend anymore on the delicate equilibrium of caffeine, booze, and nicotine will hold the threads of my sanity together and my brain cells awake and firing.

I can play with my friends.

I can go to bed at a reasonable hour and maybe even make dinner, take a stroll, pay my bills, and otherwise behave like a functional person.

That is, for about 10 minutes before I have to get my job search materials ready, plan a class and then teach it, work on getting an article published, etc. etc.

But let's not wreck this fantasy.
