Alicia in the World: Once upon a PhDreary....

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2013/02/once-upon-phdreary.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Once upon a PhDreary. The last couple of weeks have been quite the emotional roller coaster. I recently compared this feeling of anxiety to that of a serious breakup - you know, with the butterflies in the stomach and the inability to eat and all that stuff. Only, that anxiety has been going on for weeks instead of days. Nonetheless, the answer to my mantra tonight: "I'm mother effing Michael Phelps.".

Alicia in the World: Last course requirement

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2013/01/last-course-requirement.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Thursday, January 31, 2013. Today, I fulfilled my last doctoral course requirement by presenting my dissertation work for an hour in Epid 890. It was amusing, and I had far too many slides, but I have a while to edit them and figure out what I need to say. I have 22 days and 10 hours until I present my dissertation work for real. The countdown is beginning. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Olympia, WA, United States.

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Thursday, October 11, 2012. Just the two of us, building castles in the sky. I hope every girl, young lady, and woman in the world has a dad who believes in her as much as my dad believes in me. Unfortunately, it is not the case, and that makes me sad.). I love you, Dad!

Alicia in the World: Reflections on a PhD

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2013/02/reflections-on-phd.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Friday, February 8, 2013. Reflections on a PhD. A fellow PhD candidate asked me what my perceptions are of getting a PhD in epidemiology from Michigan now that I'm on the inside looking out, instead of when I initially asked him about the PhD program as an outsider looking in. Phase I had a firm grasp on who I am and what I'm made of, and was done questioning my beliefs and standards. But, oh, how getting a PhD has changed me! As I th...

Alicia in the World: The time to hesitate is through / No time to wallow in the mire

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2013/01/the-time-to-hesitate-is-through-no-time.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Thursday, January 24, 2013. The time to hesitate is through / No time to wallow in the mire. The time to hesitate is through.". I have 29 days until I defend my dissertation. Which means, I have about 10 days to finish writing it and get the finished copy to my adviser for edits before I submit it to my committee. It's currently 38,000 words and 148 pages, but that should increase quite a bit before I'm done. More on all of this soon!

Alicia in the World: Ricotta Pancakes with raspberries

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2012/11/ricotta-pancakes-with-raspberries.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Thursday, November 29, 2012. Ricotta Pancakes with raspberries. I made lasagna recently, and bought a huge tub of lasagna to do so. I had about half the tub left and was looking for something to do with it when I saw a Facebook post from my dear old friend, Karina, who mentioned eating lemon ricotta hotcakes. Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner of what to do with the leftover ricotta! Made about 16 medium-sized pancakes. Heat a griddle...

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Wednesday, October 3, 2012. We press play. Don't press pause. Progress, march on!

Alicia in the World: "I will never miss you because of what we do, but what we are together"

http://lish-in-mich.blogspot.com/2012/09/i-will-never-miss-you-because-of-what.html

Alicia in the World. Never a dull moment, never a stone left unturned. Sunday, September 30, 2012. I will never miss you because of what we do, but what we are together". I've had a lot of friends and acquaintances ask me, lately, how married life is going. My initial answer is that nothing has changed. And that's what I love about it. And, despite equality talks, why should I care about a signed slip of paper and a tax break? Marriage is, in a sense, a conversation of our promises with our loved ones, t...
