You cannot spell massively intense without M-A

This past few weeks has been literally CRUNCH TIME!  With the exception of an intercultural music concert yesterday that I went to, I feel as though I've been running on all cylinders through most of this quarter!  Weekends have turned from being packed with fun social get-togethers to me being lucky if I get one event that isn't related to my thesis.  Meanwhile, I've been writing, revising, and drinking copious amounts of a certain super-delicious hot caffeinated beverage until 5 AM on weekends.

I cannot wait until my defense is is scheduled and done successfully and the revisions are complete!  Then I will take a nice vacation and plan the whole summer full of concerts, parties, and friend get-togethers.  If the defense goes successfully, I will take my immediate family out for dinner at the cute little gastropub on the corner and plan a friend get-together at the Haus of Revel later in the summer.  If it does not go successfully (which is highly unlikely, since my committee has been good at telling me exactly what to change and not change), I will still make plans with the family and the friends so I can vent to them about the process and get their support.

But soon it will all be done, and I will then only have work to worry about.

And yet...

Does anyone else think it's weird that I'm seriously considering another degree after this one?
