Trudging Along

So I've managed to finished 3 chapters (that is half of the planned chapters there) for my thesis. However, I have family coming in 2 weeks (OMG my apartment is a mess!!!!) so I need to rev up the thesis work so I won't have to write while they are in town. Still, half of the chapters done. That is an accomplishment. My apartment is a mess and the books are multiplying but it seems possible to finish this thing. As for David, he has turned down Colorado. We are playing the waiting game. Arizona wants us to come there; Emory put us on the waiting list. We're getting to the point where we need to make a decision - the deadline is April 15th and we do not want to send in our acceptance last minute. So... yeah. Otherwise, life is the same here: I write, prep for class, grade papers... (why did I assign so many papers????). David goes to class or lab and works on his homework. We're all set to walk together in convocation on the 23rd (that was not fun to set up at all for me - 3 different offices and multiple levels of paperwork involved), the parents (both sets) are flying in in 2 weeks, I have 3 lectures left in the semester to teach and a final to write. Hopefully it will go well. Once the stuff for my class is done I do not have to worry about it until after finals; can't grade the test until all the students have taken it!
