I'm looking forward to blogging "from the road," if I can get my act together...<br /><br />Rad, I've had so many setbacks with my dissertation (not to mention several breaks because of working full-time) that yesterday I asked my husband, "Does God not want me to get my Ph.D.?" To which he responded without missing a beat, "Yes." ARRGH! Calm thoughts. I love my boots and I'm goin' to Philly!Chalkdust and Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149895782195943926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-36969170520770289382011-01-23T00:30:41.413-05:002011-01-23T00:30:41.413-05:00Bummer about the crappy day.

Sometimes I think the PhD is only 1/2 about scholarship, and 1/2 about being able to jump through hoops. Hang in there. You're almost done. And think of all the wine and cheese that can be consumed then, soon to be Doctor Chalkdust. Cheese... <br />And I also throw in my admiration fro the beautiful colors here. You may have had a tough day but you look great.Radhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01946279879863336523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-25140775834241608302011-01-22T23:16:23.763-05:002011-01-22T23:16:23.763-05:00You're looking good in spite of all your troub...You're looking good in spite of all your troubles yesterday. Have a safe trip.<br /><br />A friend was having trouble with the speed of her dissertation committee and contacted the graduate school office at her college. Et voila.

He's very much the old-fashioned absent-minded professor and I've defended him for years but, like... it's not cute anymore, y'know? <br /><br />Thank you, Allison! Wine and cheese certainly helped the situation. I'm excited for Philly, but - like you - I didn't want to leave it at all (especially since I'm not the biggest New England fan I know), so I'm worried about my own emotional reaction...Chalkdust and Bootshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149895782195943926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-54948374286330185102011-01-22T15:04:13.803-05:002011-01-22T15:04:13.803-05:00That doesn't sound like a good day at all.

You look great though, and wine and cheese a pretty good way to deal with bad days. <br />Have a good trip to Philly - I feel a little sad whenever I visit Halifax.

No shame!<br /><br />I am giving your academic advisor the faculty peer stink-eye for not dealing with your academic stuff properly.

It's worked out-ish for the moment, but it sucks when people who are supposed to do things don't, doesn't it?<br /><br />Be happy when you go back to Philly. Yes, it's full of bittersweetness, but you were happy there and you're happy now (I hope) where you are. So enjoy the memories.<br /><br />And to Miss B. and E-Jo - I just turned down a job offer in Edmonton not too long ago! Being a Guelph and Toronto girl, I don't know if I could live in the middle ;)Katie, Interrobangs Anonymoushttp://interrobangsanon.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-90495725876909970172011-01-22T12:34:33.048-05:002011-01-22T12:34:33.048-05:00Sorry to hear about what sounds like a truly awful...Sorry to hear about what sounds like a truly awful day.

I know what you mean about returning to a city that you used to live in and the bittersweetness of that moment. <br /><br />The outfit looks great! <br /><br />Also, Miss B, crazy that yours is Edmonton, AB -- I grew up just outside of Edmonton and went to undergrad there!E-Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306618457306286114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6121494988300540592.post-24754483006165925152011-01-22T11:34:36.029-05:002011-01-22T11:34:36.029-05:00The outfit looks great....shameless matching works...The outfit looks great....shameless matching works for you.<br />Damn trucker, I HATE when that happens. It makes you want to throw a crowbar at them, but maybe that's just me. I really hope everything works out with your 'situation'; it doesn't sounds like any fun at all. Have fun remembering your city. I've lived in so many places but I know how you feel, it's bitter sweet going back. Oddly enough mine is Edmonton, AB but I've only been there once.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659512275312775838noreply@blogger.com
