There’s good news and bad news. The bad news is that I clearly need about another three weeks to make this unwieldy text into a dissertation. The good news is that my extension until May is REALLY an extension through the summer as well. So if I hand it in by the end of March, my director will have time to read it and dictate revisions, then I’ll incorporate whatever changes he would like to see. Then the second draft goes out to my committee – who will either suggest more revisions or sign off on it. I’m writing at full steam, so it looks as though I might actually finish this albatross and have the Phd in August. AND, I might even be finished with the whole thing sooner than that. I’m back to work – I had a great inspiration yesterday – it helps. I won’t be writing much here over the next couple of weeks, but I’ll make up for it later. ;=)
