今天早上，终于赶在deadline前的最后一刻，把论文的最终版本交上去了。然后下午便收到了研院的通知，审查通过。这样，degree menu上的最后一项空缺也被打上了绿色的小钩，真正意义上PhD毕业了。
昨天晚上，我还在为论文的最终版在实验室赶实验，整理数据，一直忙到三点多钟。然后早上9：30跟老板go through最终的实验结果和结论，然后再作了一些修改，到中午12点才把文件上传。这样的交毕业论文过程，估计也是空前了。从加州回来之后的两个多星期就像打仗一样，几乎每天都在和jd师弟赶实验。辛苦jd了~~当然，还要感谢小葱：）
终于毕业了，想起了一首歌：Where My Heart Will Take Me (Faith of the Heart)
它是电视剧 Star Trek: Enterprise 的主题曲，它总在我做晚饭的时候播放，所以就看得很多，有一次还因为看这个电视剧把不粘锅给烧糊了。一年多以前，我第一次听到它的主题曲时，很有触动，当时就想，我毕业的时候要把这首歌放在blog上面。现在算是完成这一个愿望吧。

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing's in my way.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna hold me down.

 

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.

 

It's been a long night. Trying to find my way.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.

 

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.

 

I've known the wind so cold, I've seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I've been through the fire and I've been through the rain.
But I'll be fine ...

 

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I've got faith, faith of the heart.

 

或许，人生就是a long trek。生活，感情，工作，无不需要长途跋涉，途中会有迷茫，挫折，痛苦，甚至绝望，但只要不放任自己迷失和堕落，相信自己，相信未来，便总有拨云见日的一天。
