As of 2:00 in the afternoon on Tuesday, Prelims have been finished. It was a long, exhausting week, filled with constructued sociological terms, such as "gendered" "embodied" "medicalization" and "hegemony", but I've come out on the otherside of it in one piece. My brain does feel a bit like jelly, but I can't figure out if that's because of the intense last two weeks of writing or the intense last two days of drinking in celebration.

I made Alison pose for this picture, she protested, but it was useless. I needed to capture the moment when we officially turned our work in to the graduate secretary. And that's a lollipop in her mouth, not a cigarette.

Then we hit the bar.

And another bar...

We laughed.

And really, what am I doing with that little cup?

Good times were had by all. Hopefully, upon news of my passing, there will be more debauchery.
