Good morning, folks! I had some crazy rigamarole go down with my ace yesterday. One member got picked for a trial and couldn't make it to my defense next Wednesday. After that everything kind of spiraled downhill from my other committee members with nobody being available to convene as a group until mid-late July. No thank you. No thank you - my written ace was approved MAY 10!!! I am not waiting until August (because remember in late July how I'll be in New Mexico?), to defend my written. On the brink of having a meltdown I pleaded with the faculty member who runs the ace (at the top), and upon sharing my situation, he agreed to sit in as my 4th member. OH THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. relieved. I'm still going next Wednesday. My goal was to just FINISH BEFORE JUNE. And so the thought of having it hang over my head all summer was really not sitting well with me. I put on my saddest, most pathetic grad student face.
I've been eating a lot of sprouts lately - I am really a big fan of sprouts. Especially the crunchy ones.
Now for the "little dogs" update. My dad sent me this funny/weird blog called "dogbearding."

You basically take your dogs face and put it against your face so that from the camera angle it looks like a beard. Mine kind of sucks. Brian's is a little better. It makes him look like he has curly chest hair, too. They were both not too happy about being beards. The photo shoot didn't last long.
Thank you for your advice about my charley horses! I think it may be for 2 reasons: first, that I drink a lot of water but don't take in much salt - and I'm a very salty sweater. Second, I don't take in enough calcium. I'm trying to remedy both. They've gotten a bit better, but I'm still getting them too frequently.
Anyway, happy Friday!!!!!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend!!!
Carpe diem,
J
