The end of March


March has absolutely flown by, as is evidenced by the fact that I haven't posted a blog entry in two weeks!  Grammy was here visiting for two and a half weeks, and we enjoyed having her here.  I hadn't been feeling so great (actually, the fact that I was cold all the time was the biggest deal) and learned that I am severely anemic.  More bloodwork revealed that there isn't anything wrong with my Vitamin B12 or folate or any of the blood counts, just that I'm iron deficient.  Now that I'm on iron supplements, I'm feeling a lot better!

The other thing that has taken up a huge amount of time has been that I've been working like a maniac to try to get my dissertation finished.   On Friday morning, I submitted a complete copy of it to my dissertation co-chairs.  So hopefully they'll review it, be in love with it, and will tell me to schedule my defense.  I'll feel so relieved once the defense is done!  It's been nice the last two days just not having it hanging over my head for awhile.  Hopefully I won't have many revisions or at least ones that are easily done.

I'm going to do my best to keep my blog in a better state of updates!  No news on my Redstone Arsenal job.  CONREP is in a somewhat more stable state, although it's still a different place than it was before the murder.  I'm on the last three month stretch of internship now, and it'll just be a race to get all my requirements met (although I'm in good shape on all of them).  I have to get my dissertation defended by May 29 and then the next deadline is June 13th commencement!   After that, I'll still have two more weeks of my internship, which I'll finish on June 30.  The end is in sight!
