Counting Down

I've set a date for my thesis defense. It's very exciting. In a terrifying, please-don't-let-me-fail kind of way. I take some comfort in the fact that in only a few weeks my thesis will be turned in and 14 short days after that I'll be done. I expect the manic mood swings characteristic of my last few months to be wrapping up then as well.

I wonder if anyone has ever earned a PhD in clinical psychology (or something related) by studying the mental well-being of other PhD candidates. I think it could be an interesting study.
