Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker » Dissertation http://proactivebusybody.com 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!

Oh yes, I did.

"Complete submission." Heh heh. 

OK, now check this out. Before they let you hit submit, you have to fill out a freakin’ survey! A SURVEY, I tell you. Unbelievable. I’m sure I wasn’t the only near-submitter to respond with slightly snarky comments.

What follows is the page you get when you’re done submitting. What I can’t help but notice is the lack of can can dancers and confetti. Surely they can do better than this!

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!

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:

I sure hope he’s happy with all he sees so I can just submit it. Cross your fingers! 

Now for some sort of treat, then I have to get cracking on yet another psych report! Will the fun ever start?!

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!
