No better time to catch up on my blog! I'm supposed to be at a meeting, but I've been sequestered in the libary. Drat. :P I think I've been led into the basement and to the center of the building. It's weird. They just left us in the hallway. Yet, I still have wireless access. Wonderful. Meanwhile, I'm thinking about my basil plants as they sit out on my porch exposed to the elements. I kind of want to see this so-called tornado that the midwest is supposed to have. I'VE never seen any! Pah! In my whole 5 years.
In other news... I turned in my written dissertation to my committee last Friday. !!! Eeps! I should feel more accomplished than I do right now, but I realize that it's only a rough draft, to be ripped apart during/after my defense. I did have this un-wipable grin on my face for the rest of the day though. :)
However, the impending doom of this defense is looming... I hate public embarrassment. My whole family is coming into town, and I think a bunch of my good friends and sort-of good friends are coming. Now, I'm okay with being embarrassed in front of my family, but people who know me and somehow think I'm smart?? Aah! I know one committee member is going to grill me, and I'm afraid. AFRAID!! The committee is filled with physicists, and I'm... not one.
Wish me luck!

Congrats on turning in your written - You're so close! Before you know it, Fri will be over and done with and you'll be Dr. Lo!
We are sending all our good karma your way this week and thinking of you from afar...
"...the impending doom of this defense is looming..." is a work of literary genius!
