Almost halfway
I’ve written my first (very rough) draft (6500 out of 15,000 words) of my dissertation and will be reading it at a works-in-progress session tomorrow. Whew, huge sigh of relief! Of course I’m sure I’ll still have to read a few more books and incorporate them into this draft, but it’s mostly completed in skeleton form. I am excited I can go back to reading and taking notes instead of staring at my computer trying to eek out another 1000 words that day.
In other news, my dad has really joined the tech-savvy world and begun a blog. I don’t know if my mom’s up for that yet. Check it out here.

Congratulations on your writing…so pleased for you. Dad’s blog is really cool so maybe I should consider having one of my own. Love, Mom

Hooray! You should be proud of yourself.
I will now use your comment space for my own personal communication:
Hey, Katie, thanks for visiting our blog! I don’t know what the deal with the nose ring comment is….???

Update: the works-in-progress session went well; it was encouraging and I received some good feedback on things to add in or make more clear. The true test will be meeting with Susan next week. dun, dun, dun.

Personal communication:
What made me the maddest was that the person called you “sweetie.”
Sarah - I love reading your blog!
