Do I? Don't I?

So, if I can entirely finish my dissertation in the next two weeks, then I can hypothetically defend in mid-May; otherwise it looks like I’d have to wait until early July and pay $1,180 for summer session. But maybe it’s not worth the hassle. It would sure be nice to be more relaxed and have a better finished product. I need to decide very soon! Tomorrow I’ll give G. the draft of my Results section.

We saw a salamander on our “moms walk” this evening – technically a rough-skinned newt, which is brown and has a reddish underside. Also there were a couple of deer; the Korean mom said she’s only seen them in zoos. I got fairly wet in the rain, but I’m grateful that it’s knocking the pollen from the air.
