a short version
IN the time since my last post, I have:
passed two of my comps (Medicine and Seventeenth Century European Science) and failed one (American Science). Naturally, I punted the one I wasn't worried about. Strangely, I'm still not worried. I'll take it again, and it'll be fine.
helped Millari move out of her home and into our new, shared one. We have made great strides in setting it up the way we want it, though there's still a lot to do.
procastinated doing 3rd edition conversions and design for a new D&D campaign. I'm very excited.
visted Shadow and Pixi up in New Hampshire.
worked at the store. And done a good job, too.
Attended to many domestic errands and tasks, though with, alas, more to do.
Confirmed that I shall be going to Gencon with Lefty in August.
Not gotten around to making arrangements for the Kenyon/Exeter reunion.
and, today, attended Lisa and Elizabeth's sweet and simple wedding in Look Park and their very tasty reception at Del Raye's.
I -MUST- finish my research project. Once it's done, the MA is all but mine. My problem is that I find such an open-ended endeavor scary, because I feel like I am committed to finding some particular intellectual nugget, and if I knew it was there, it wouldn't be a proper research project and there would be no point in doing it. But, there may be nothing to my idea, in which case, what the hell do I write? 'It turns out that the reason no one else ever bothered to compare secrecy in alchemy with other experimental disciplines in c17 natural philosophy is that there isn't really a comparison to make?' OH, boy....
[oh, and Feisty still hides from Stinky, but he doesn't make any effort to find and attack her anymore, and since he's outside a lot, she seems pretty happy running about the house in his absence. She's even getting bolder when he's around. In fact, she's just climbed up on the table and blocked my view. Good kity...:)]
