Defense...

It was this morning and I passed... and I still don't realize yet... I'm just waking up after my nap (I needed it so bad) and I'm still not sure it was real... The moment I have anxiously been waiting for is now over. I think it went pretty well. I probably gave the best presentation I ever gave. I was surprised by some of the questions and the light went off sometimes but I think I did ok. Overall, despites the stress, it was a really good experience and one I will never forget for sure. My advisors were awesome, pushing me in the right direction.
I feel stupid now and I'm wondering what I am going to do next. It's like if somebody just jumped on the breaks very hard... Well, honestly I know what I have to do (pack) but I am not sure I want to do it. It is going to be hard to figure out what stays here and what goes back to Europe with me. I still have a 1.5 month to spend here and I have decided to live and enjoy every second of the time I have left.
