Well, I successfully defended my proposal on 7/19/2007.  It was a lot more difficult and stressful than I had anticipated.  I am now working on finishing my study, and I have a lot more work to do.  Some of which I haven’t even thought how I should proceed. Anyway, I hope to defend this upcoming fall, and more likely graduate in the spring.

In the mean time, I am going to be spending a lot of time preparing for the upcoming term.  I am teaching a lot of material that I haven’t worked with for years.  Fun, fun. I have also spent a tremendous amount of time working on articles.  Hopefully, some of this will come to fruition in the next few months.

Well, back to the grinde.
