Cross Your Fingers 2

I'm hoping that the draft of my chapter three of the dissertation that is currently being spit out by the printer will be ready today to send to my dissertation chair. That means it will be fiddled with, commented upon, and edited more later after she sees it. It's not perfect, but I am not going to make it perfect on my own; I just keep picking at it as it is now.

I have lots of things to do today in addition to reading this draft to see if it's ready to go to Dr. R. But this is the first time I've felt hopeful on this part of the draft. If I do send it off today, then I'll start redoing the Buffy the Vampire Slayer chapter (which is chapter 1-- see, you don't write them in order.... duh!) tomorrow. I'm actually about 2 weeks behind the goal I had set for myself of getting Chapter 3 sent to Dr. R by the end of January, so I have to get there soon or else be hopelessly behind forever.
