still fighting the dissertation monster

sorry for the hiatus, but things have definitely picked up. i swear, i am doing 5 things at once. between finalizing experiments, writing in 2 papers (another paper is about to start...and all the deadlines are in a month!!!), writing in my dissertation, preparing for life after grad school, and reading related work, i don't know which end is up right now. all this craziness will be over soon (or at least that is what keeps me going when i feel too tired), and i look forward to some time off. we've definitely come a long way, and we are almost done.

back to the grind
