.: Now what ??

I don’t usually get a lot of mixed feelings but this one has lasted more than 2 weeks now (that was when I submitted the first draft of my thesis). That morning was one of the weirdest I have had in a while. After an all-nighter fixing up some font issues and images, I felt unbelievably fresh with a sense of relief. Relief you can imagine, but it was coupled with a feeling of void. I suddenly felt I had a lot of time in my hand and too little to do. But that lasted only for a couple of days since my advisor, the nice guy that he is (he actually is !!), asked me to do a few more analyses so that we could be all ready for a publication. So 2 days of *real* work again, and I fixed up most of the things that he needed. And I gave him what I think will be my thesis’s final draft. And the void is back again. I think I really need to get a job real soon. I am attending a lot of interviews, but the companies are taking their own time. The waiting is the most painful, where you never know what the future holds for you.

Graduate school and research were probably one of the most memorable in my life, but again good things do come to an end soon. And now what ???
