Announcement of summer
I am laying in bed watching Netflix movies and eating pasta out of a tupperware for dinner on a Tuesday night. What does this mean? It means it's summer. True, you would not conclude this by going outside, where it's been cold and rainy every day for months, but according to the chronological accounting of university calendars, it is so. Last week, I passed my generals (an event involving not insubstantial humiliation, of which we shall never speak again), then I took my language exam, which I assume I passed, although I haven't heard anything about it since, so now I guess I'm ABD, plus or minus an overdue paper (or, um, two). Or maybe that pnly happens post-prospectus? I can't be expected to know. So that leaves us with this summer, and the small mountain of work waiting for me. But, maybe I will actually blog sometimes, and this blog's two loyal readers will be recompensed for their vigil.

Congratulations on surviving yet another round of your ritual hazing!
Mrs S-I:
Congratulations on the hurdle. I hope you enjoy writing your dissertation - at least I liked it more than some parts of grad school.
Hooray for summer and being done with exams!

I am a disloyal reader. I look at other blogs.
Congrats on passing comps or generals or whatever.
congrats, rita! :) hugs!
Thanks peeps. I should perhaps have noted that, as a rule, no one in my department actually fails comps. That diminishes the accomplishment somewhat.
