Y'all. I passed my exams. I'm ABD!
I'm sorry for my long absence. I just found out yesterday, and I totally forgot to take outfit photos the last few times I left the house, but you haven't missed anything (except that I got these colored jeans from Lane Bryant and they're amazing).
I feel so relieved that I passed and now strangely, wonderfully empowered with my new almost-doctor status.
I drank a bottle of champagne and Skyped with my NOLOSE roommate last night to celebrate, and then promptly requested letters of recommendation and started working on my job letters and CV for the market.
Really, the pressure never ends, it just changes.
But I'm feeling very good because I'm ABD, my first book is getting published (I found that out just a little bit ago), and there's something about putting together a CV that makes me feel really proud of how far I've come and grateful that I've survived despite disability, systemic oppression, chronic disease and depression.
Next week is fall break, and then expect more regular posts to resume.

OMG, ABD! Congratulations!! I so vividly remember the relief and empowerment of passing exams -- that's wonderful!
I love your posts on fatness/queerness/fashion in academia, and it's why I read the blog, but I would also be very interested to hear about your strategies for managing chronic illness and depression in graduate school -- or managing grad school in chronic illness and depression -- I'm not sure which thing is "in" the other!
