Updates on Two Fronts

For those interested, I made it through my comprehensive exams defense with flying colors. I am now a doctoral candidate, or if you prefer I'm ABD (All But the Dissertation).

I was also asked about my diet recently. I haven't updated it here recently. Over the past few weeks through this exam process I haven't been the best dieter. While I didn't lose any weight, I definitely didn't gain any either. I seem to be back on track for now, at least until I leave for Europe in a couple of week, and my grand total for weight lost is 48 pounds.
