I can see the light...

Ryan and I were IMing today. We do that pretty much every day while he's at work. Today, he casually mentioned that he had heard back from his professor. The same professor he's been working with over the past 3 1/2 semesters. The same professor who received the most recent thesis draft last night. The same professor who told Ryan today that, except for a few minor changes, the thesis is READY! Had I been physically capable of any kind of gymnastics, I would have done them after reading that. Now, this doesn't mean that Ryan has come to the end of the Master's Degree tunnel. The next step is submitting his paper to the second committee member. While that is being reviewed, he will be preparing a presentation for his defense. And, after much practicing, he will have to take a trip to Utah to defend his thesis. None of those things seem insurmountable, though, now that we can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

It's so good to see that light, or to even see the end of the tunnel is great. Good luck!
