Well, in less than 12 hours, I will be in the midst of my oral candidacy exams in order to be officially admitted as a PhD candidate at ND. Yes, it's taken this long....they don't officially say you're a PhD candidate until you've passed this exam. So far, it's been a hellish experience, and it hasn't even actually happened yet :P Anyway, those ( Read more... )

Went Christmas shopping with Jenny and Renita in Chicago (technically Schaumburg) this weekend. It was good fun :) Got up way too early on Sunday morning to catch the train, and spent waaaaay too much time on the train for one day. But, it was well worth it :) Managed to get a nice present for my mom (hopefully she'll like it), something for a ( Read more... )

I feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to deal with everything that's going on right now. Work is overwhelming me at the moment, and orals are looming overhead like a really nasty thundercloud. And there are other things going ( Read more... )

This is impressive seeing as I've never even BEEN to Philadelphia...my dad grew up close to there so I suppose my pronunciations could have come from him....

What American accent do you have?
Your Result: Philadelphia

Your accent is as Philadelphian as a cheesesteak! If you're not from Philadelphia, then you're from someplace near there like ( Read more... )

I'm back safe and sound from the land of fish and chips :) Had a great trip...got to see TONS of shows, including Tim Curry in Spamalot. Really good! It took me ages to get home on Friday due to high winds in Chicago which caused flight delays and cancellations all over the place...including my flight, which was about 3 hours late. Should have ( Read more... )
