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."

Great news! Congrats!

Good on yer, Keri!
Not finishing my post-grad work used to be a source of regret for me (I bailed on it when I discovered I was making more money ((and being more fulfilled)) as a musician that I would ever do as an academician. No longer, but I've got nothing but admiration for those who see it through. Again, well done. Boru

My ex attempted an MSc but she ended up not submitting a dissertation and didn't get a degree. She was issued a postgraduate diploma instead to show the work she did complete.

You have done very well.
Salute!! 
Wow! One month for a whole thesis?!
My PhD thesis had a chapter in the appendix that, alone, took me a month to write!! (technically, it took me a month to research how to go from one mathematical expression to another in hundreds of little undocumented steps - writing was 2 days). Congratz! New life ahead! Enjoy!

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

It was a joint degree so the dissertation was only worth 1/3rd of my degree and therefore only had to be between 12,000 and 15,000 words. I'm a fast writer though. In my undergrad when they required 2000 word papers, I could write it in 3 or 4 hours start to finish. And mine was just 4 of those papers with a short intro and conclusion. The appendices were short as well only 5 of 1-3 pages each. I couldn't imagine doing a PhD thesis.... I want to do a PhD but the thought of having to write 100,000 words on one thing just makes me nauseous. Well done to you! Thanks! Fingers crossed, it will pass.
