Gratitude

It's been an eventful week, what with fire alarms -- yesterday's two false ones, and the real one from the day before -- and the continued disruptions to my precious sleep cycles. But today, as tired as I am, I have a lot to be grateful for.

Having just met with the course leader I have been given the green light to:

1. Come home once the course works is over, i.e., at the end of March, and work on my thesis from home.
2. Write the music marketing textbook I have always wanted to write and submit it as my thesis.

You can't imagine how happy I am at this very moment. And you certainly can't see the resulting tears in my eyes. But they're there, and they're real.
