I turned a corner yesterday - defended my dissertation proposal. Now I can call myself a doctoral candidate or "ABD." It wasn't so bad - kind of like going to the doctor. I'll probably back-burner my research for a few weeks and pick it up again in January. Right now I'm just sort of bored with everything in my life. I don't even post much here anymore because as soon as I think of something I follow it up with a 'who cares' and then let it go. I feel like everything is so obvious.
