Silly Update: I got a message from the Graduate School saying that I needed to change "July 26, 2005" on the title page to "July 2005" and resubmit. These details, man. They are bordering on the ridiculous!
Life Accomplishment Alert
I just e-mailed a PDF of my completed dissertation (with all required revisions) to my chair. I’m particularly proud of my copyright page. $45? I won’t pay you no stinking $45 to copyright my work. I’m way more hip than that! Here’s the ladybugged version:

Graduation Party
When I get to Boston, I’m going to have me a real graduation party. I will get cheesy decorations and everyone who comes has to get me a dumb graduation-themed gift. I’ll even pick up a cake with silly caps and gowns and fake diplomas on top. It’ll be a blast!
Good luck, Brittany!
Brittany defends today. My fingers are crossed hard! Stick it to the man, lady!
