(1) Called the Graduate College to make sure that I understand all the rules for First Deposit of my dissertation, and also to be sure that someone will be around during the break between the summer session and the fall semester to receive my First Deposit. All is well.

(2) Edited the Method section, incorporating all of John's suggestions as well as the additional changes I wanted to make myself. The Method is the shortest section, so in that sense, finishing it isn't that big a deal - but on the other hand, it's finished, and it's not as though I've had so much forward progress these days that I ought to be downplaying any of it.

I'm going to try to get in at least another hour this evening. Using a classical CD to set a work period seems to be working well, and the current English Country Dance CD in the drive is an hour and six minutes long. I can do that. But first, dinner and The Amazing Race.

Hey! Looks like progress from here. Who'd have ever thought ECD would be so good for you when we first went?

What English Country Dance CD are you listening to? We have a collection of them here, along with a lot of Scottish Dance music...

Sending good energy your way.

Progress is good. Step by step, kiddo - you're gonna be better than fine.

Sigh. If you keep doing that, Rivka may be well motivated, but the rest of us will not get any work done.

I suggest you start a pile of Finished chapters (or pages), and glance at it regularly as the pile grows.

By the way, I'm also available for copy-editing.
Yaaaaay!

Bare Necessities (http://www.sover.net/~marylea/bnhome.htm). They played a Playford Ball I attended a couple of years ago - they're really quite marvelous. The three CDs I own are "English Country Dances," "Take a Dance," and "Favorites of the Boston Centre," but I can't seem to find "Take a Dance" these days. It's a shame, because it has some of my favorite dances on it, including Irish Lamentation and Miss DeJersey's Memorial. Alas.

Do you really want to be working all weekend?

*pathetic sigh* No.

*hug* I know. I'll keep myself decently covered most of the time so you can get some work done, but you'll need a break once in a while. ;)

If you would seriously be willing to read this damned thing and give me your reactions, I'd be in your debt for life.

(catching up to all the LJ I missed this past weekend)

Go, you! I remember "way back when" with this pile, and it's been awe-inspiring to follow along.
