I really don’t have much to say today, but it’s been a while since I have posted and I thought I’d just check in, blow the cobwebs off the place, and say “hi.”
There are a few more weeks left in this semester, and lots of things to do before it’s all over. Several papers, a few exams, and many many pages of reading are still ahead. As stressed as I am (and as pessimistic as I often sound) I think this semester will turn out rather well. Hopefully I’ll end up with at least one paper I can submit for publication by the end of May or June, and maybe another by July or August. Not too shabby. Of course, submitting is one thing… getting accepted is another. Still, I feel like even making the effort this early in my academic career is a good thing, and I should be pleased with myself.
Back to the grind…



Dear young lady… life is full of daily insights that make us all go a little wacky… but that’s the fun of it. Actually, now is probably the best time to be in grad school. Just imagine… you are becoming smarter and smarter and well we hope — wiser too! Any way… just dropping another word to the wise… you.
Best regards
