back to the phd grind

it's back on the phd horse as i prepare for my defense next month. i cracked my dissertation open a few days ago and am trolling through it. i wish my shipped cargo would hurry up and get here because there is a box of research papers that i have referenced that i really could use in the next phase of studying. i made some notes on these publications, and it would be helpful to see what i wrote on those papers in summary. reading all 130 references again is probably not the most efficient option.
