I did not take any classes in the spring of 2009, but I did wrap up my thesis and then graduate. The text of my MA Thesis defense is more or less taken from my working draft at the time. I may have added a bit at the beginning and end that is new. I gave it one more revision after that and then submitted the final version maybe a week later.

The next morning I returned to campus so I could participate in a panel on publishing as a graduate student. I gave some brief remarks and then joined a discussion.
