Long Time Gone
It's been a while since I posted, but since I read somewhere that blogging was defined as "talking to a brick wall," I figured that it would be ok.
Still, apologies to the regular viewer (note singular usage). I just got to know last week that my advisors are letting me defend in June/July sometime. So I went through the five-stage process following which it sank into my head:
1. Euphoria (1 day)
2. Panic (1 day)
3. Anxiety (2 days)
4. Frustration (2 days)
5. Some combination of Frustration and Anxiety
Incidentally, if you are a grad student. And you find yourself happy (i.e., not frustrated) for an extended period of time, I strongly suggest you stop and take heed. You're doing something wrong. Talk to your advisor or something.
The posts will now resume with (somewhat) regular frequency. I say "somewhat" because I have to now figure out what I'm going to do next with my life....
