Dear Family and Friends, especially the ones who care about me,
Just a quick update on what will be going in my life:
My schedule for getting my thesis and research done was really cramped, and my advisor decided I was accelerating the process too much, so I’m now looking at an official graduation date in December 2011. I should be defending sometime before mid-October.
Thanks very much to all of you who have been praying for me. I’m mostly glad I have some more time; I’d rather turn out quality work than a rushed, half-finished job. It will also give me more time to look for a job, which has kind of fallen by the wayside as I’ve been pushing my thesis through.
I feel like I suddenly have a summer vacation! I’ll be in Texas for a week in July and in San Diego at the beginning of August, if anybody wants to find a time to catch up.
Please be in prayer for:
- Me finding housing/a roommate – everybody around here leases for a year at a time only
- My experiments getting done
- My sisters finding housing/transportation at their respective new schools.
But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane,
In proving foresight may be vain:
