Dissertation...whew.

I dodged a big bullet today. I thought I was going to have to scrap my entire dissertation and start over from scratch. Instead, it looks like we will be able to take a slightly different angle, move some things around, add in some new pieces, and it actually might work. No guarantees yet, but it looks much more promising than it did one week ago.

As for my applications, I am completing cover letters for each site, which is one of the very last steps for me. I also have to complete a work sample (most of what I will do tomorrow at work) and finish scanning a few BOP forms into the computer. Looks like my apps will be done before the end of the month! Great news - both for my sanity and for my dissertation progress.

Thank you all for your continued support, especially through the past week when things weren't so happy in the world of Ashley's academics. :)
