I've been working like a dawg on my dissertation. I have IRB and ARB approval for Chapters 1, 2, and 3. I'm conducting my interviews right now. I am hoping (FINGERS CROSSED) that I will be done by July or early August. Done. Seriously. Done. I'll be Dr. Dana.

Getting all the approvals needed took me over a month. It was freakin' ridiculous. I was rejected one time for IRB approval because my date wasn't in the right format.

Mark still hates it here. Nana is still being Nana.

I love my dog more than I ever thought possible. I have tons of pictures of him on flickr.com. It probably isn't healthy how awesome I think he is, but I could care less.

I'm on spring break right now. A whole week....to clean this house and work on my dissertation.
