Today, after a little committee meeting, I became ABD. This means I am now All But Dissertation* away from getting my PhD. This is a Very Important thing, but happily not one of those highly stressful Very Important things. Anyway, I mention this not so much so pat myself on the back as to note that I will be back to writing about other people's writing very soon.
* Yes... yes. This is a real thing, and that's what it actually means. Academics are not always as smart as they like everyone to think they are.
Congrats on making it to ABD!
ReplyDeleteOMG YOU ARE SO ALMOST QUALIFIED TO DO THINGS
ReplyDeleteWe should celebrate by going to see a play about the Spiritualist movement of the late 19th century in America. OMG WE CAN AND WILL.
Thank you, thank you. I'm very excited at being this much closer to real unemployment rather than student-limbo.
ReplyDelete@Alice, PERFECT.
