  • Revision inferno

    I’ve moved from the 7th level of revision hell. I’m now in limbo. I already heard back from the grad school who had a few minor things for me to fix–and yet another form to fill out. I’m waiting to hear back from the advisor–mainly about a 2-page section I had to add, which, quite…

    3000 miles later

    Thanks everyone for the warm congratulations! I feel mostly relieved. I have loose ends to tie up. That will all be done within a week, I’m guessing. While driving back home today, Mr. Geeky and I calculated the miles we drove to complete this whole trip: a little over 3000. I have seen a lot…

  • Done–really

    I printed it. I went to New York. I’m copying it and mailing it today. I did all the important things in New York. Went to the Museum of Art and FAO Schwartz. Wandered through Central Park, followed by dinner at Friday’s. Doesn’t everyone go to Friday’s when they go to New York? Geeky Girl…

    On Vacation, Kind of

    Yesterday was my last day of work for almost 3 weeks. I always have tons of vacation to use up by the end of the year. Even taking today and all of next week, I will roll over a few days of vacation. That’s one thing I would never complain about at work. We get…

  • Writing, thinking, rewriting

    Bleh. I’ve decided to reorganize this chapter for the third time. I think I like the new direction I’m headed in, but boy, has this whole thing been a slow process. I know that everything I’ve written so far, while not being used directly, contributes to my thinking about the new direction. It does kind…
