w00t!!!

I successfully defended my master's thesis today, and I have the handshakes to prove it!

Ok, I don't really have the handshakes, and they don't actually prove anything... but it's extremely cool none the less. Now some paperwork and a big stack of 25% cotton paper is the only thing between me and a fancy degree.

I Love Cleveland

Living here is a constant voyage of discovery when it comes to traffic law. For example, I'm well aware of the "right on red" rule, but on the way to campus today I was reminded about another rule I often forget about: the "left on red at a busy 5-way intersection from a direction where you are only allowed to turn right ever" rule. I'm not sure if that's a special Cleveland traffic law, or just a consequence of the popular "any red light can be treated as a stop sign" rule; someday I really should pick up an Ohio driver's manual and check.
