Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Dissertation Defense Looming

By Abby at 5:28 pm on Sunday, April 10, 2005

Man, the defense is in 31 days, 16 hours. I have an countdown extension on my Firefox browser. There’s a lot to do, but I’m just so uninterested. I feel like I need to be more nervous than I am. It’s like if I admit that I’m so close, I’ll have to deal with it, and honestly, I’m so sick of this project that I don’t even care anymore. But I’m sure as time approaches, I’ll care more. Today, I’m working on the reference section and the dissertation announcement. It’s dull. I’d rather be doing just about anything.

On the new Word Press platform, Aaron has the admin level 10, and I have a 9, because there can’t be two 10s, and he’s doing the really technical programming stuff. I’m always asking him to police me and make me work, so he said if he catches me blogging too much, he’ll shut down my blog until May 13th, the day after my defense!! Now that’s policing!

Hope y’all find me over here real soon. It seems awfully quiet so far. Also, check out the moblog. I’ve been trying to use it more. My new camera phone is FUN!

I found you with no problem. It looks just the same, except for the comment section. The change is almost imperceptible from my view, but I’ll bet it’s more so from yours.

Way different indeed. I’m pretty happy about it all.

It’s good that it all looks about the same. We just have to make sure it works. There are still a few bugs I’m sure but it’s working and it has the fun new addition of stuff like categories. Oh, and no more post killing Blogger hiccups.

Most Interesting. Works for me so far…till I try this comment posting – the proof will be in that “pudding.” Also, still being a complete techno-weenie, it’s beyond my ken as to the “work” involved but one of these days I’ll have to wrap my mind around more than my pittance of knowledge.

Well, looks bloggie good. Also: Cheers to you for your upcoming Defense of Dissertations Day.

Proud of you!!! I have mine on May 31st. I have no idea how I’m going to do it, considering I am still writing the damn thing. Oh well, I set the date to get my ass in gear. I am really finished with it aside from the discussion chapter, and a little help with wording my results section and creating tables. I have not been thinking about it much either, but now am getting very nervous!!
