Ya' need not wonder whyyyyyyyy...
Hey. Haven't posted in a while. SO SUE ME.
I've been workin' hard. I almost have a full committee. UCSD has some bogus rule that you have to have two committee members from outside your department, and so far I have one, Alan Houston from Political Science. I don't know the guy, but hey, if he'll be on my committee, he must be a stellar individual. Now I'm waiting for another one, possibly from Economics.
My advisor sent me a preview of the questions he's going to ask my during my defense. Ugh. They're whoppers. One of the questions, it seems to me, I'm going to have a particularly hard time answering (he's asking me to define something that, it seems to me, any which way I define it threatens to wreak havoc with some aspect of my argument). Anyway, it's time to get to gradin'. May U live 2 C the dawn.

Dude, are you almost done with grad school? are you defending your thesis or whatever it is you do? when is that?
No. I'm defending my prospectus. Which is roughly a theatrical trailer to the thesis. The thesis opens in two years.
Ahh, Prospectus. He was my favorite character in Julius Caesar.
