Greetings from Indiana! Well, there finally appears to be an end in sight. I officially finished writing the dissertation today and submitted to the committee. While on Friday I did reach a preliminary end to the writing, I had to address a couple of minor edits and add a couple of appendicies when I came in today. Once that was completed, the writing was all finished ans I was suddenly left with a feeling of "so what do I do now??"
Anyways, here are the final dissertation stats:
Number of Chapters: 7
Length of main body: 216 pages
Length with appendicies: 255 pages
Total length: 275 pages
Whew! That's alot of trees that will be sacrificed. The defense is sceduled for the morning of the 21st of September, and with a little luck I'll come through relatively unscathed.
I did make it down to Texas this past weekend. I took a long, well-deserved weekend and played with my girls (who are getting funnier by the day), and spent some time with my wife (who is as relieved as I am that things are drawing to a close here in Indiana). We went out house hunting and I think we may have found a house that we're interested in. If everything keeps going well, we may be in a home of our own by Thanksgiving...which is very exciting after two months of transience.
I guess that's all for now. Erin and I hope everyone is able to find their way to Houston to visit soon.
