Amy,
Can't you do some of the dis stuff at the center. Work the system! I am one
to talk. I have done nothing with my dis. since the first week of August.
Then I was given three big boxes of unopened primary source data which needs
to be cataloged and anaylyzed etc., but I have just been too damned busy to
get on it. I will do dissertation work for at least 45 minutes this
week---please hold me to it all.
