Facebook is being dumb so I am posting this here
At last I have set my defense date and time. I am currently just waiting for my final committee member to approve the time and then we can book the room! My defense will take place April 23 at 12:45 in either my adviser's office or in the Cultural Anthropology department. I don't know why, but finally having dates and deadlines and all that crap isn't scary but exhilarating! Maybe because the end is in sight and in range. This also means that this week I am working my ass off to finish up the draft. :P It will all get done as it always does, and then I'll edit some more and practice presenting on April 20th at the APSI forum, which is also the day I have to give my "final" draft of my paper to my committee members AND either take my final Chinese test OR take the Chinese Standard Oral Proficiency Interview (they don't know yet which one we will take :P).
I'm re-posting my updated to-do list here:
To Do:
