I'm still alive
I know I've been kind of quiet on the blog front. Been working a lot. I got a draft out to the committee this week, which was good. I still have a good bit more writing, as well as the defense presentation to work on. So, three weeks of solid more work.
We had an exciting morning, as Carrie's note describes. I'm glad she's all okay now.
I turned in my pink form on Friday, which means I'm officially on the books for doing a defense on Monday, August 11th at 10 AM in Taylor Hall 3.128. So the schedule for the three weeks is: On this Tuesday, I have a teleconference with my external committee member to do a run through my defense for him. I will get comments from him, and probably a few other committee members on the draft in the next week and write those in. I will also be continuing to work on my presentation and hopefully give several practice talks. After the defense, hoping everything goes well, I have until Friday the 15th to get the dissertation uploaded and all the required forms turned in to the Graduate School. Then... well, then I'm done. That is, assuming everything goes okay with the defense. I'm not counting my chickens until they hatch, if you know what I'm saying.
We've been following So You Think You Can Dance this summer. And I must say, at some point in my life I'm going to take hip-hop dance lessons. It just needs to be done, because I need to be able to pop-n-lock.
Okay, back to work... ohh, I have some cookies on my desk. Delicious!

Also...
Congratulations to Carrie who completed the Austin AT&T Half Marathon yesterday. The course this year was apparently quite hilly, so kudos to the redhead!
