That's the sound that goes with the sign that means "finally!" As in, the paper is finally finished. All 40-something pages of it, plus two appendices that are nearly as long. (This is what happens when I get self-reflective.)
And now I shall rejoice by cleaning my apartment for Pesach.
I would also like to relate a story about a slightly unsettling elevator experience at Teachers College this afternoon. I got in the elevator and pressed 7. Someone else got in and pressed 3. And then looked out and pressed 4. And then looked out and pressed 5. She wasn't sure what floor she needed. But this is not the unsettling part, though it is a good thing I was not in a rush. Then she pressed 6 as the elevator announced, "5th floor. Going up." It is a talking elevator, and it does this every floor, but this time, it lied, because then we went down. And not in a normal elevator-y sort of down. More of an I felt it in my stomach before the elevator stopped on the fourth floor, decided not to stay long enough to open its doors, and climbed back up to six. I did not stay in the elevator long enough to find out if it made it to 7. I was very willing to climb a flight of stairs. Still, the entire thing left me a bit unsettled.
Anyway, off to clean...
