So.

We completed our two-day simulation yesterday. Our team finished third, which would have been better had there been more than three teams. Oh well - it's a pass/no pass item and it's not like we did not put in effort.
I still have a take-home final to finish. I'm about 2/3 done and I'd hoped to finish before this four-day stretch so that there would be nothing left between now and graduation. It didn't happen but I will apply myself to it over the next few days. I'll probably try to work on it on the airplane today.

Bittersweet to a certain extent. It's been a long, intense 18 months and I will miss the interaction. I'm glad I can get my life back, though. If I weren't flying out this evening, I could rebuild my social life by going to the joint birthday party.
