This poor blog has been abandoned for so long that I don’t even know if people still stop by. It was all for a good cause, I assure you. Last Tuesday I handed in a full draft of my dissertation to my supervisor. It was nice seeing all the chapters together and finally think of the work as a whole rather than simply the sum of its parts. I’m sure there will be lots of revisions I pushed it out fast this summer as I knew I wouldn’t have much time to write in the Fall. I’m ok with that. I predict I’ll have at least six weeks off over the holidays in December to do any revisions my committee find necessary. I took it easy this past week with some long walks, swimming, and a bit of yoga and this week I’ll work on finishing the syllabus and assignments for the class I’ll be teaching this coming year. I’ll also be cleaning up this blog over the next couple of weeks, deleting posts I’ve moved to the other blog, and fixing videos that weren’t transferred when I moved the blog to my own domain. There are also a couple posts in the making both for here and for the food blog so stay tuned!
I leave you with this picture I took in our walk through the west end last week:
