I feel like a heel. You’ve all been so friendly and excited about the posts I’ve made lately, and I want to keep things rolling! Keep the excitement (well, I think it’s exciting) going!

But I can’t write anything good tonight. You see, dear friends, I am defending my dissertation proposal at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow. If all goes well, I will be an official PhD candidate by some time tomorrow afternoon, what is known as “ABD” (all but dissertation). So tonight I am going to attempt to bake this lovely apple cake (I love the smell of bribery in the morning), get taken out to a surprise super-quick meal by the most wonderful certain someone, prepare the paperwork, review my materials, and go to bed at a relatively decent hour. So there’s no time for blogging. Not really.

I’ll be back tomorrow, though, on day 14 of NaBloPoMo. I hope I have good news. If not, I’ll try and at least have something good to eat. Wish me luck!
