The horrors of dissertating

Dissertating has recommenced, though it is going slowly. I wrote one whole page yesterday, which I guess is one page better than nothing at all. Apparently Hester Prynne is not as inspiring a Stoic as Uncas. Sigh. Perhaps I lack the proper encouragement of a loyal cat. But alas, my cat does not desire to entertain me by blogging anymore. She is neglecting both me and her public. How sad. Come back, little Gergie! Even MS-F came back eventually in private blog form.
