thesis: to be or not to be?

I am back in New Orleans after a couple of trips to Baton Rouge. Tomorrow I'll drive back to Pensacola, Saturday I'll fly back home. I had a good trip to my Home Institution.

But we pushed my actual defense back to the fall. There's still a lot of work to be done on my thesis. I was crazy (and felt crazy!) for trying to do the whole thing, research included, in three months. It will be finished for good by the fall, though. I had great meetings with my advisor, so I feel refreshed and have direction.

My committee was incredibly helpful. I have a good start, but they gave me some good ideas one how to expand more.

It's miserable to try to write a major project long distance. I'm glad I decided not to do my dissertation this way.

It's been a good trip to Louisiana. Ellis and I miss our daddy/hubby (respectively).

Now I have to focus on my paper that I presenting next week in Kalamazoo. Anybody else going to be there?

Hurrah for going home. I'm glad your committee was helpful, and that the trip was worth it. And that you have time to really polish what you wrote. I can't wait to see your thesis.

Good luck at the conference! Say hi to "happy hour" buddies from my old university if you see them.

Keep up the good work, Jeannette!
