Blogger Reaches Milestone; Sees Promised Land

I met with my dissertation committee a few days ago. They critiqued some of my work, and they have a few more things that they want me to do, but they gave me the green light to start wrapping up my benchwork and write my dissertation. My blogging will therefore be rather light for the next few months. Rather than kicking around blogging ideas, I need to spend the time and mental resources on being an expert in my field, and getting the @#$% thing written. Oh, and finding a job too.

I hope that the MA administrators won't be too quick to kick me out of my cozy spot on the aggregator. (I suspect that more than one of them will be quite empathetic, having done--or preparing to do--the same thing.) I imagine that I will do some quick posts from time to time for diversion, but I will probably be mostly ignorant of what is going on in the bloggernacle. Feel free to email me if I'm really missing something.

But don't worry, I plan to pick up the pace again after defense day. Because...

I'll be back, when the day is new, And I'll have more ideas for you, And you'll have things you'll want to talk about. I will too.
