Another mythologizing creature… sharing sparks of intellectual passion!
Diss committee scoreboard: 1 down, 2 to go!
10Jun2021 Filed under: "Other" review, Dissertation blues, Education, LIBRARY, Random, University papers, Writing Author: CollieI'm so excited! Yesterday my committee chair told me she thought my dissertation was done enough to send on to the rest of my dissertation committee! So today I pieced all the chapters together, filled out all the paperwork, and sent it all on — woohoooo! Hard to believe it, but I'm getting ever closer to completion here!
Now all that's left (aside from any suggested revisions on all of these steps!) is sending the committee-approved diss to the Technical Review editor, performing my oral defense (which, cross my fingers, will be in the middle of August), then sending the diss to the Program Chair and Library Director, then sending photo-ready copies to the Program Director and the Writing Center… and then, as they say, if de crick don' rise an' de sun still shine… I will be a doctor, eeeeee! :-D
Also, I caught my funniest typo ever before sending it on to my committee members. I wrote: "…the rates of depression fall, and the rats of happiness raise." So this entry is dedicated to the Rats of Happiness — long may they party! :-D

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.
