Good News

Not that I was super worried, but now all of my business cards and my signature block in my school email no longer profess falsehood and fraud. I didn't know, when I had them printed, that I had to qualify to advance to candidacy.

Of course, the gist of this message is "Congratulations!! Now you can do more work! Good luck writing that bitch of a dissertation!!"
