The Sticky Wicket

This is a story of a girl. A girl who had met the boy, fell in love, was asked, accepted, and made the plans - only to be told 4 years later that it had been a good ride. This is the story of a heartbreak. And the possible rebuilding of Rome from the ashes.

Where the hell are you...err....me?

Update:

1. Went home for a wedding.
2. Wedding was for my friends Shell, not the reader here, Chel (but she has exciting life changes going on herself....)
3. Bridesmaid dress was green, but nice.
4. Wedding was beautiful.
5. Found out that DCS was banging a college freshman ("but we weren't together, we were 'working on us.'" Cliche', I know.)
6. Working through the above and the older stuff.
7. Set defense date, April 28.
8. Invited to conference in DC, immediately after defense.
9. Set return to home date: May 7, after conference.
10. Thesis is in draft five, expect to get it to committee by Monday.
11. For a week turn around, during which I will be making my Power Point presentation.
12. DCS will come down for defense and packing me up.
13. DCS will join me in DC for the end of the meeting and a bit of a holiday for us.


I think that is it. Yes, most of those bullets deserve a greater detailing, but I am so swamped trying to get this evil thesis revision done. So this is the extent that y'all get right now.

Back to the revisions.

Think swift, revisions, and committee turn around time for me.

KC, I wanted to 2nd much of what Chel had said already. (Sorry for the confusion, BTW). It's not like we're in downtown Baghdad looking for Peace ,Joy & Happiness, but I still think that finding it with this boy is getting more remote all the time. A Frosh 'piece' eh? How very tawdry. Now we know why he's been too 'distracted' to call, write etc. Geez, you might as well be married to the creep for all the slick betrayals. Yeah, 'working on us'= 'Frosh ass acquiring'. Nicely done for a cad.


Be that as it may, the other developments sound just great. Lots of cheers & hope there, again typically you've got more control and mastery over these details. I'm sure you'll do swell as long as you prep decently and can tap dance nicely to their questions. Giving them less than 2 weeks to review often comes out in your favor too. Too much time can often create mountains of molehills for whatever reasons.

Good luck on your presentation, put in a few colorful slides at least to tell them where you were and to try and make some jealous. (The house bound 'desk jockey's' at least).

Again Cheers & Good Luck! 'VJ'
