Achievement Unlocked

This evening I've finished the (rough) first draft of my dissertation. The beast currently clocks in at about 49,000 words. In a few weeks, as Spring Semester begins, I'll be dropping copies into the laps of my three readers and then awaiting their critical feedback in order to rework things from there. For the moment, however, I can stop writing.

(This post comes dangerously close to the "dear diary, here's what I did today" territorry that I have sworn to avoid--but, devoid of philosophical content though it is, this announcement still seemed sufficiently relevant to post here.)
