d-day -3

defense of the prospectus next wednesday... i remember when people who have now graduated were defending theirs and i was thinking woah, that seems so far, those people are so cool and so lucky to be there already... huhu!

haven't worked on anything lately except the IAWE conference website. s'taken me an awful lot of time and it's not wonderful and all but it's working and doing what it's supposed to do. ended up doing most of the work other people were supposed to help me with but that was just easier and faster. i'll finish it up tomorrow and then i'll just be a few changes here and there as i get more info but nothing big. glad to be done with it!

still trying to find the "drive" and motivation for my dissertation research. and also to finish this #@(*!#! tesol quarterly article, darnit, it's not THAT hard, now that i have the new data, i just need to sit and write for 5 hours or so and then it'll be DONE! when i read kiara's blog and she's complaining about doing too much work and never being able to stop, i envy her, i wish i had that much energy and drive to do my work.

visitor from unh, say hello, who are you?

oh yeah, to see my cool new truck, go there! haha!
