Your project has been approved and your signature page has been forwarded to the Dean for her signature.&#8221; Now, I just need to pick up a copy of my signature page, and the binding form, pay to have 2 [...]]]></description>

I just learned that the thesis-holding filing cabinet was pushed out of the way by construction people. It was pushed up against a wall, so the grad department cannot open it until next Friday, which I think means June 15. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I received my envelope from the grad school noting the changes I have to make to my manuscript. Overall, the corrections are minor. The biggest problem, however, is that I have to collect new signatures from my committee because the grad school determined my layout for my signature page isn&#8217;t correct. This is easier [...]]]></description>

The questions were good. One of the questions almost stumped me. And now I don&#8217;t remember what the question was, I think I blocked it. I was asked about [...]]]></description>

As I went through the stack, he commented on different things. Most were perfect with stars and smiley face marks from the teacher because (as Justin will [...]]]></description>

This is the final version of my thesis, which will be discussed at my defense Friday. Any changes after this point should be minor in nature.

I now have to revise, but I have been revising all along, so this should not be so bad. So where am I exactly? I [...]]]></description>
