Haven't Forgotten my Dissertation

Major faffing this semester. Politics and teaching. The presidential race is critical and the devastation of the world's economy makes it ever more so. We need a president and vice president who can thoughtfully lead a diverse nation and build working partnerships with other countries. We don't need an impulsive, angry, short-sighted president paired with a VP who winks but doesn't think. It is outrageous and offensive that they would try to paint Obama as a terrorist.

The election is absorbing much of my attention and some of my time. Closer to home, in a momentary break with reality this semester I agreed to teach a graduate school class. It's something they want all of us to do before getting the Ph.D. It is not mandatory but urged, and for good reason. I am interested in teaching and I do a lot of training, so I know I can do the teaching part, no problem. But I've never taught before. While I am familiar with most of the content I would present here, some of it I have had to read up on. All of it is taking time, lots and lots of time. I am liking it just fine. But I can't work full time, teach part time and keep my proposal moving forward simultaneously. Ok well the thing to do I know is get an appointment with my committee. That'll make me wrap up the proposal.

What the hell?

On Hold

Took on a commitment to teach this semester. Can't seem to work full time, teach AND wrap up my proposal at the same time. Gotta schedule time to defend, maybe in the break between semesters?

But tonight, the presidential debate.

Go, Obama! Don't let McCain get away with his character assassination strategy.
