198

Today, I put all my chapters together into my dissertation "master" file. This is minus the several page-filling graphics I will add later to the Buffy chapter. It also doesn't include the works cited, which will add at least 20 pages probably by the time I am done with it.

My dissertation is currently 198 pages long.

SWEEEEEEEET!

It's really really close to being ready to send to the entire committee as the draft for comments/revision. It's not really the first draft, as each chapter has already been revised several times & submitted to the committee. But this is the first draft of the entire thing.

I am well in line with my self-imposed deadline of having it ready at the end of April, and being done with the whole thing, revision and all, by the end of the summer. As long as my committee cooperates, I should be a very happy camper by the time Halloween rolls around this year.

Anyway. My babysitter is about to be off work now, so I have to go back to mommyland. But I'm a little giddy.
