If you want to come to a graduation type event, let me know. Actual grad day requires entry passes (for family members only) and showing up without said passes will probably result in your standing on the hot pavement outside a large Congregational Church. But if you want to come to a hooding ceremony (which [...]

It’s about 100 degrees outside. Which reminds me, we gotta go visit Mike and Danielle.
It’s Sunday and, despite my more diligent intentions, I spent the week relaxing. Been getting lots of sleep, but still sleepy. The last seven years have taken a bit of a toll. But it’s almost over.

I’d like to officially announce that my damn dissertation is officially on the downhill slide. It should continue [...]

Yesterday morning, I woke up late. I slapped makeup on my face and hastily made a peanut-butter-and-strawberry-jam sandwich that I consumed whilst hurrying to my car.
