Gentleman start your engines

So I did it. I defended my thesis.

That's right you are looking at a Master now.

Well, or reading the words of, in any case.

Summary: The defense went really well, we talked for about 2 hours. Comments were overall positive with one or two reservations about how I had described my method as an ethnography, and my reticence to "out" myself as a participant in the research. I am very grateful to the members of my committee Liz Miller, Dr. Sandra Weber, and especially to my supervisor Dr. Leslie Regan Shade.

That was April 6th.

The ensuing week has been incredibly strange, like a comic strip where the Coyote chases Road Runner off the cliff, and then runs for another five feet before looking down, shrieking, and plunging to his doom.
