short story by dan simmons.

and then…discuss it.

there, everyone on the committee has their copy of the thesis. The grad rep doesn’t get one until the Grad Office is done with their copy. Which I just gave them now.

and they were remarkably easy going(much more so than earlier this year) about getting stuff in. They just struck me as rigid with how things were done, in this order, and by this time. I’m doing things a little out of order, because I’ve got to get form 5 filed yet, but that will be hopefully sooner rather than later.

I’ve gotten it scheduled, copies to everyone, now I wait. This feeling is absolutely fantastic.

You know what this means?

Now I get to work on papers for Pacifica! Hooray! And hopefully I’ll get far enough on them that I won’t need to take any incompletes! Hooray!

Amazingly, all of the faculty have agreed on the date. Now I’ve got one more form to file, a couple more copies to give out of the work, and mentally prepare myself.

Friday April 21st, 2 PM.

I am still working on the location, but should have that tomorrow afternoon. MY DOOM IS UPON ME!!!

AIEEEEEE!!!

(wait, is this open to the public? If so I’m a little more worried…)

you know what’d be nice at this trial? Some music to listen to. That’d make me happy.

Your wish is my command!

Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk,
I’m a woman’s man: no time to talk,

Music loud and women warm, I’ve been kicked around
Since I was born.

And now it’s all right. it’s ok.
And you may look the other way.
We can try to understand
The new york times’ effect on man.

Whether you’re a brother or whether you’re a mother,
You’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Feel the city breakin’ and everybody shakin’,
And we’re stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive, stayin’ alive.
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin’ alive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The stars suggest there is no time like the present to check out your “parallel life.” Consider what it might be like to live somewhere else, have a different job or other relationships, etc. Change is coming.

if it wasn’t lent, I would’ve said “No S___!”

as it is, I’ll have to settle for “duh.”
