archaesophiliaSpring has blown in; on a few sequential nights, the wind has been blowing. It smells of wet and spring. The bulbs are up and the trees are putting out leaves and flowers (my favorite are the native dog woods).
And I've decided to delay my thesis for a semester; it makes sense from a funding point of view. And it would mean a less rushed, better quality product. Which is important if I want to continue on in this program for my Ph.D.
So, with thesis pressure off, I'm really enjoying this semester. Only taking the two classes is a luxury, and I find myself looking forward to the upcoming conference (next week!) rather than dreading it.
Also, this summer should be awesome; the field season will be larger (in terms of people) than previously thought. This will be awesome, we'll get so much work done! And then I'll come back and bang out my thesis in time to defend at the beginning of the semester.
