Hello!
I just gave the first printout of my phd to the dean of the faculty.
Tomorrow, there is a (monthly) facultyboard on which the board should approve the work, and the date for the exam (for which we proposed Februari 27). On this exam, I should give a 10 minute technical presentation, after which the exam-commity can ask questions. At the exam, the commity can request changes or additions, after which I have up to 30 days to meet their suggestions, get the work printed (as a book, faculty has contracts for this) and prepare a public presentation. This is currently planned for March 30th.
But it is a weird feeling to give that first print to the dean...
I'm happy to have finished the work, but somehow it feels like it signals the end of my student days... 
While I would love to take some time of, there is still a stack of exams (from over 100 students) to be verified (by early February) and a paper for a conference that - while accepted, I'm going to Mexico! - still needs a bit of tweaking.
But as soon as the weather is adequate, I'm off to the airport for my first flight of this year!
