This all looks quite tempting. As a side note, I'm glad to see you're alive. Life's good, I take it?

[rieux]

Yeah, I'm alivish. Things are good, yeah. I hear you're in Ireland. How's that?

[fourseat]

Ireland's great. Apparently I'm a quarter of the way done with my master's degree. What are you up to these days?

[rieux]

1/4! Cool. What is your master's degree in?

I am (as of May) 4/4 done with my M.S. but still 0/? done with my Ph.D.

the degree program ends next September and our first term of teaching ended a week ago, so I figure that's 1/4 of the time, if not the effort. We take classes for the three terms during the schoolyear and research and write the dissertation over the summer.
Mine's in linguistics. How about yours?

[rieux]

I'm in computer science. It's "expected" to take 5 years, but 6 seems more likely.

Are you planning to come back when you finish?
