The End of the Beginning

So there are roughly 4 months left before I graduate, get married to the love of my life, and begin to study for the GRE, LSAT, and possibly another plethora of graduate school exams to determine where I'll be headed for the next period in my life. Strangely, I have become very comfortable with the ever-shifting quality of life that senior year here at the University has introduced me to (i.e., an average of 3-4 hours of sleep a night, writing massive essays within a span of a few days, and preparing for presentations covering extremely advanced topics the night before). As I type this up, I'm prepping for a presentation of Voltaire's Candide to the Problem of Evil seminar that I have tomorrow (an advanced theology class which takes up what many understand to be an unresolved issue between the existence of evil in the world and that of the belief that Catholics hold of an omnibenevolent and omnipotent God).

Thesis is getting along (I just hit 73 pages and am getting ready for another review draft where I hopefully will be able to add the last three sections and bump it up over 100 this time) and the transformation of my archival data (taken from vampiric mythology) keeps traveling deeper and deeper into uncovering the answer to my questions. It's a very exciting period at the moment; between getting close to completing a 2 year project and also planning for my wedding in June, I don't know which takes the cake, but both are tremendously exciting and leave me only thirst for more in this life.
