once my head stops dedicating itself to mucus production

I will start to dedicate myself to dissy production.

For real.

The other day in the midst of a back-and-forth with my advisor about future plans and she wrote: "please concentrate on finishing the diss, then the rest will fall into place!"

And this freaked me out a little bit. The "please."

And now I'm freaked out, I think legitimately. I want to walk this June--my parents want to watch me in the hooding ceremony and I have to admit, I want to be part of that ritual. So, in order to have that, I need to file by June 2nd. That is, I have to have the draft in acceptable shape and with F, J, and S having signed off on it by May 31.

What needs to be done by then:

finish Chapter 3: write the Cham section (20 pages) --> Jan; and last GCI section (10 pages) + of course, reframe the whole chapter --> Feb.

Reframe Chapter 4: Eliminate some sections and beef up the MC section --> March.

Reorg Chapter 1: Create some actual structure for this chapter --> April.

Write a critical intro: ?? also April?

Get comments and generally rewrite; also get the whole thing formatted and fix the bibliographies and all that appropriate: um, also April? or maybe I can format and fix things while I'm getting comments? um, yeah.

Soooo, do I have reason to be nervous?

Well, I'm feeling like I'll have to revisit this timeline if I don't get C3 finished in a sufficiently quickstep way. Aiiiiieee!

Bree was funny in a restrained way. She catches you off guard with how charming she is.

The Ground Truth
So many sighs. It is an obvious fact, but there is a large large group of men--and some women--generally of fewer economic possibilities and or of color who are totally totally damaged by their experience from having been trained to dehumanize and kill. I have a student who is in the ROTC. He is very sweet. His favorite tv show is Ninja Warrior and his favorite movie is Master and Commander.
