Sadly, I’m not on the computer with all the photos. So, I have nothing to upload to show off.

I’m beginning to wonder if the end stretch of grad school is compatible with blogging. I have things to write about (such as I’ve never posted a review of the classes I took at Stitches West, and BigAlice asked so nicely), but any writing time I have should be devoted to the ugly mess that hangs above my head now — my thesis proposal. It’s due by the 18th, and I actually need to shoot to have it done by the 15th because I’m driving to Long Beach on the 16th for the Society of California Archivists’* annual conference.

I’ve been mostly focusing on gathering material for my literature review, but there isn’t really anything out there on my chosen topic**, which ironically is what makes it a great thesis topic (i.e., it’s original research). This summer will probably be spent creating the survey I will need to send out. Whee!

I guess I’m doing ok… the twitching hasn’t come back… yet.
