Another mythologizing creature… sharing sparks of intellectual passion!
Eeeeeeee! I am SO pleased — just got the email from my dissertation committee chair that she's passing my dissertation proposal on as acceptable! Now I can send it on to my other two committee members — and soon: ONwards to dissertation researching and writing! :-D
Also extremely exciting is what the Chair wrote in her email to me — lovely things that reassure me that I'm not a failure at having taken so long to get this thing done! A few very nice lines that have me doing the happycolliedance:
You've done some exceptional work here!
and
You've done an incredible job with the breadth of the literature review -truly establishing yourself who has done her homework!
and best of all:
Great revisions with the methodology chapter!!
These are particularly happy-making because I was initially truly worried my lit review chapter and (in particular) my methodology chapter would be sub-par. Yay for busting my chops and finally getting them right!
Yay also for the extremely yummy chocolate-peanut butter microwave mug cake recipe that a delighted friend dug up for me so I could properly celebrate — was tres delish, my dear! Sharing so all my friends and sister scholars can enjoy as well when they get to their joyous celebration moments! :)
Two Minute Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake
Bestiaries depict mythical, moralizing animals, but are also potential allegorical sparks that can bloom into brilliant mental bonfires. My bestiary is this mythologizing animal's fascinated exploration of beauty & meaning in the wonder of existence -- in the hopes of inspiring yet more joyous flares of intellectual passion.

It was awesome! The crunchy peanut butter added a very nice texture too. I think next time, though, I may add another tablespoon of peanut butter — because while it smelled fantastically of peanut butter when I pulled the mug out of the microwave, it didn't taste that much like it.
Still, was a huge success — light, chewy, and deliciously decadent! :)
