I'm getting fairly antsy for the end of this. As interesting as life has been while I've been forced into silence, it's also very frustrating. I feel for those who will be mute for a lifetime.
As a nice counterpoint to the rudeness of yesterday, this morning people helped me get apple juice out of the vending machine, and they were very nice about it. Sometimes I think being in this situation can also make people friendlier than they would otherwise be; either the perceived disability or that I would take time to write something down makes people more ready to trust than they might otherwise be.
Today's dissertation goal is to reach 10,000 words. The overall goal is 15,000, which I hope to reach by Monday, and then start revising.
5 days left until I can speak and dietary restrictions are gone. I am hoping for a bottle of champagne.
