A light...
...at the end of the tunnel has just appeared on the horizon (sorry, too many metaphors).
A submission date, like death and taxes, will come to all Ph.D. candidates. However, in the throes of research and writing it sure doesn't feel like it. I have been coveting this elusive prize for some months now and it was beginning to feel like it would never grace us with its presence. But, at last, it has come calling and has brought with it good cheer.
Josh met with his supervisor today and, believe it or not, a date has been set. He will submit on the 30th of September. This means he will hand over a final draft of his thesis to be read by two of the academic persuasion, in whose hands our fate rests. They will decide if this scholarly tome is worthy to grant its writer the privilege of adding 3 small letters at the end of his name. Do you think I should send cookies? Or a million dollars?
Rejoice with us! A submission date has finally come to the Moon household.

Good news I suppose... I hope it won't seem too selfish if some of us shed a little tear (sniff)
