What do I even say now?? I did it. I completed my thesis exhibition! It turns out my entire year+ long process boiled down to a 15 minute presentation in front of an audience consisting mostly of underclassmen trying to figure out what they wanna do with their lives and professors who are there to judge what I have done with mine. Overall I think it went quite well!
I'm feeling pretty calm now. I feel an overwhelming sense of tranquility and relief... like if I sit here in this seat for too long I may morph into a tree. It's that wonderful, placid feeling you feel right before you have an existential crisis about your future.
So what is in my future? What is going to happen with my application now that it's done? And my thesis research now that it is ready to be filed away among hundreds of other thesis logs? This is the first chance I've had to take a step back and look at what I'm going to do next.

I don't have sufficient answers for all those questions yet, but I do have a bit of a to-do list I can share! It's wonderfully vague and non-commital, so just think of it as a teaser trailer for my summer.
So that's the short list. It might not look like much but I think it'll cover the entirety of the summer if things actually work out at least half as well as I hope.
*You read that right, a Kickstarter will be coming and you will have an opportunity to get involved in the project! More details "soon".
