I look forward to becoming more emotionally available to my family again (I&#8217;ve been clogged up!), finally attacking that 1.5 year backlog of photos, and as well as the random stacks of stuff that have gathered in the office awaiting attention.  I also look forward to breaking out of my self-imposed &#8220;only one TV show allowed&#8221; mental block (Heroes), and napping a lot after a year of high tension and bad sleep-habits.<\/p>\n<p>I have no immediate plans for what happens next.  All I know is that I&#8217;m taking December off from all that, and I&#8217;ll start paying it some attention in January.  I&#8217;ve applied for my post-graduate employment authorization, but that won&#8217;t take affect until 1st March (if it&#8217;s approved, which is should be) so I can&#8217;t legally make any money in the US until then.<\/p>\n<p>But so yes&#8230; I&#8217;M DONE!!! :)]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>\u00c9g er B\u00daIN me\u00f0 allt sem \u00e9g \u00feurfti a\u00f0 gera fyrir doktorsgr\u00e1\u00f0una.  \u00c9g sendi inn ritger\u00f0ina seint \u00ed g\u00e6r, og \u00ed morgun \u00fe\u00e1 var h\u00fan sta\u00f0fest af fyrsta lesanda svo og skrifstofunni.  \u00dear me\u00f0 var s\u00ed\u00f0asta haki\u00f0 sett vi\u00f0 kr\u00f6fulistann, og \u00e9g \u00fear me\u00f0 B\u00daIN!
