Intersections

The intersection of my day job (wine) and my career (academia/drunkenness)!

Approved

The thesis is in and approved by graduate studies... I am officially out of Dodge!
YAHOO!!!!!

Different Strokes

I understand that different people need different things when they study or write.
I need peace and quiet, but know that some (the guy sitting across from me in the computer lab) need a little background music, but does it have to be the same song on repeat!

La Lucha Sigue

How I love a revolutionary...

Although the day we met, he didn't have that "barba," just the mustache. More to come I'm sure.

A little advice

... from RYS regarding how to get through that dissertation.

Final Edits

Making the final edits in the thesis!
WOOT WOOT!

Thesisizing, Part II

Full draft is turned in!

Something Clever (thesis edition)

Really there is nothing clever or interesting happening in my life... I've been hold up in Fivebucks drinking coffee and revising the 88 pages that are my thesis. I've got no students to compare my writing to, so I was a little down until I realized I've got no students!

In Fivebucks I did overhear a student from SLACK U talking about his study skills class and his b*tch professor. He wasn't my student, so I wondered which of my fellow TAs was his b*tch professor. Judging from his unrelenting desire to look like a homeless man, I'm guessing there is another side to that story.



In an unrelated note: in my efforts to procrastinate I googled writing a research paper and this image came up:

First, who is writing a research paper with a nib pen?

Second, why is there a leather strap? Maybe for shooting up? Or wrapping around your neck when the perfect synonym escapes you?

Trying Something New

Today I am going to try turning off the TV and writing the last couple of bits (that's being a little generous) of my thesis. It's a novel concept. I decided I should take my own advice and use some of those time management skills I am always harping about to my students.
