				<description>&#060;p&#062;Dearest Tanya, I am late in adding my congratulations and warm regards, but they are no less heartfelt. You have been such an integral part of YLF, and I'm sure you can feel the love based on these responses. As others have said, if this means we will hear from you more often then it's even more cause for celebration.  You've done something most people will never achieve, and I hope you take a moment to reflect and appreciate your accomplishment!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Congratulations Tanya!!!! What an achievement. You must be so proud. I know it's been tough recently but I never had any doubt in you. This is a sign you are not just a smart cookie, but a *strong* one too. You can achieve anything you set your mind and heart to. &#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;Enjoy your victory dance!

				<description>&#060;p&#062;Aww, thank you all for all the kind words, you are the best!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;RoseandJean,  yes, I feel like I need to sleep for a week, but I can only do it for a day (today), since I have to deal with corrections and lot of paperwork an then get myself back into the lab.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;MariannaCecile, it took about 7.5 years, but that's because I have switched advisors after first 1.5 years.  I have been working on my thesis project for 6 years.&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;April, I am also looking forward to posting photos again.  Here are random three form this summer when I actually remembered to take them:&#060;/p&#062;

				<description>&#060;p&#062;How wonderful, Tanya!  I have found that life after grad school is ever so much sweeter because after such a long time, you can finally live without a million things hanging over your head.  I hope it's the same for you!&#060;/p&#062;
&#060;p&#062;And, selfishly -- I'm sure I'm not alone on YLF in wondering whether you might now have the time to begin occasionally posting photos again?  (Hope, hope...)   <span aria-hidden="true" class="emoticon emoticon-smile icon-emoticon-smile "></span>

This is such a big accomplishment -- you deserve all the accolades you get for completing your Ph.D.  I hope that you get to enjoy a bit of rest time and are on to a wonderful job.
