That’s right, blame Harry Potter for my lack of blogging this weekend. Well, there are also two shows, a House Party, an engagement party, and helping out with a video shoot to blame.

I’m not going to go into an in-depth review of the book – suffice it to say that I was pleased/satisfied with the ending, and the story as a whole was quite compelling. I was happy that some gaps in the backstory got filled in as well.

But now it’s time to devote myself fully to working on my advancement to candidacy. I’ve got a little more than 3 weeks before I defend my major proposal, and in that time, I’ve got a shitload of papers to read and an 8-page proposal to write and then subsequently defend. All while keeping up with the regular day-to-day experiments and whatnot. Yikes.
