I am still waiting and checking my email every five minutes to see if my advisor has written back re: my initial proposal...so scared!
I love reading about other ppls experiences with their dissertations - my favorite is www.disshell.blogspot.com

Ode to dissertations

Well, I found some people's blogs about writing dissertations and I thought that I would start writing in my blog again....this time about how much I love dissertations! Maybe this sense of accountablity will help me get my butt moving on it...goal=graduate in 2008....will it happen? will my dissertation get done? stay tuned!
first dissertation goal: send mini proposal to advisor by the end of this long weekend
