I just got my results!!!!
I got a First on my dissertation (equivalent to an A).
Overall I am going to receive a Merit on my degree. (You can either get a Pass, Merit or Distinction).
I was 15 points off a distinction but I am happy I even freaking passed the dissertation. I didn't spend enough time writing it.
Gonna celebrate.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."
— Victoria Woodhull, “And the truth shall make you free,” a speech on the principles of social freedom, 1871

Congrats Keri, that's awesome!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
-Stephen Jay Gould

Basking in reflected glory. My eldest just got her third college acceptance. Also sighing with relief because they came with enough merit scholarship to allow us to actually send her. Thinking about traveling east to look at colleges in the spring.
