Chapter two is going out to the committee this afternoon. Technically, it could use more work, but that’s where the committee comes in. They look at it, they mark it up and tell me to “do it better!” Now it’s chapter three time. I’ve pretty much just got this week to get it all together and turned in to my committee, so I’m going to have to forgo just about everything. Luckily, it has been slow lately at work so no students today, just a few phone calls so far today. I think I’m going to need to bring more tea to the office. Then again, I’ve got enough pu erh dante to kill an elephant, and from its strong, pungeant flavor, some might say it’s capable of killing an elephant. Um, where was I again? Oh, whatever. I’ve got to print a copy of this off then photocopy it and get the endnotes and references printed out too and photocopied as well for dropping off this afternoon or earlier or whatever. Um, my brain has just shut down temporarily again. I’ll get back to this later…or not. Whatever.
