So far,

So good.  I finished drafting the new chapters one and two, I have about 15 pages of chapter 3 and 19 pages of chapter 4 drafted. For the first time, I feel like I (kind of) have this thing under control (or as under control as can be expected when writing a dissertation). 

It looks like I’ll defend at the end of May or beginning of June with an August graduation date. And I’m okay with that.

Now if I could just find a job (one that is tenure-track and also okay with an August graduation date). Hmm….
