The Hounds of Hell

by

The thesis deadlines are upon me. I spent much of my break coding and now with tons of data I will be writing my patootie off, trying to get chapters to my advisor so she can get them back to me so I can get them to my committee members so that they can allow me to defend it to them so they can make comments and I can revise them and submit my thesis. It is a process people. 

I am working on tentatively scheduling a defense date in the first two weeks of April. Until that time I will be writing writing writing like I've never written before and will hopefully get that much closer to graduating. I am sorry if I ignore you during this time. 

Just to update: My stresses have changed from this: 


packing up and moving out all the time as K and I shuffle time together. Sadly, there will be no time together for a while so my stresses have moved on to almost exclusively this: 





Wish me luck.

    Girl, you don't need luck. You're all over this stuff! Why so early for the defense-- I feel like I'm missing something about the timeline. You want to have your revisions in before graduation in May, I guess? Regardless, I have *complete* faith in you. Sorry that you won't get time with your boy, but it'll make your reunion that much sweeter. :) Love you!!!!

    Just keep swimming, just keep swimming... =) You can do it girl! You've always been one to perform well under pressure.

    As for you and sir, I agree with Miss Laura Anne... As one extremely experienced in the life of long distance myself I agree that though it is difficult, 'distance makes the heart grow fonder!' =)

    You can do it!!! =) xoxoxo

    Lou: the deadline for everything to be turned in is April 28th, and I have to schedule the defense at least one week before that, and I have to tell the office about my defense date at least two weeks in advance...soooo like Now. Isn't that sucky how they basically cheat you out of half a semester? Because they do.

    Whitney: Thanks for the encouraging words and for the Dori now singing in my head:)
