I can do this?
Let's see; spent at least a week wallowing in self-pity. Drowned sorrow in working on the various projects I've committed myself to for upcoming Icon. Result: Most everything I promised I'd do is now nearing completion--not that it wasn't much work in it's own way, but it's almost done. Wish I could say the same about the thesis, though. Whoever wrote that sticker about volunteering, was not messing around. This is one time and energy consuming pastime activity, not for the faint of heart or short of temper. Hoping against hope that it will all be worth-while. Finally pulled myself together, and went in especial to Haifa U, to check out a possible lead in the way of secondary material. Spent over five hours info hunting. Found some helpful articles too. And now to work.
