I passed the oral exam (which, by the way, is pass/no pass.) Perversely, I'm now feeling completely without direction. I don't know what to do with myself. Yes, in just a bit, I will tear into my proposal, but the TBR pile beckons.

A big thank-you to everyone who sent me good wishes. They worked!

You know, the good thing is that I haven't looked at the proposal for days, so I can come at it fresh(er). I'm going to go do that for a bit before I go pick up my son from school.
