PhinisheD

Well I did it... after many months of blood, sweat, and tears, I successfully defended my dissertation. I am officially "Doctor" Tina Prout. Sam bought me this really neat gift to commemorate the occassion, it is a small marble slab with the word "PhinisheD" engraved on it. The Ph---inishe---D is to remind me of my accomplishment in obtaining the PhD. He has one for himself, and I look forward to the day when he can read his proudly as well.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me on this path, you know who you are.
