I gotses a letter yesterday from the grad school sayin' advancement to PhD candidacy is a go. Wheeeeeee!!!!!! And thus The Summer of a Thousand Little Hurdles comes to a close on a happy note. So yes, I do get to go on and write a dissertation on my icon lady there, and second chances do exist. (-:

And my mouth is healing. And Milli did not disappear during the violent thunderstorm the other day when I found the door blown open but no Milli-cat to be found anywhere---eeeek! And I'm a good twenty pounds lighter than last year.

And my LJ friends so rock. I wouldn't have pulled through to this point without you. Truly.

OK, so research and writing, job hunting, nest arranging, walks, and play time continue as planned. Things are pretty good.(-:

TY.(-:

I ran into all the things that everyone tells you about grad school, alas. But I've recovered now, and am back in the running. Some of the time I lost I spent helping the AFT get a union going for grad students at UMD and I don't regret that at all. Right now, I'm just trying to figure out if I can work full time, get the diss written, and keep up the other good things I've started to make me a happy person again--so plotting. (-;
