Since my last post (which was admittedly a little bit of blogging as therapy), things have kicked back into gear. I've really dived into the books and articles that have done little more than take up space and attract the destructive forces of my daughter for a few months. I've got a rough outline for the dissertation and am getting excited about it again. I really kind of think that I'm on to something (obviously, or I would be writing about something else), but I'm almost afraid to be too specific for fear of someone else getting into print before I do... a little silly, I know.
How about a working title? The Interaction of Linear and Vertical Time in Minimalist and Postminimalist Piano Music. (See Kyle, no colon in my title!)
So things are looking up. I've also learned in the meantime that St. Thomas Aquinas is the patron saint of students and colleges, among other things. I think I'm still going to need all the intercession I can get (that means you, too). :) I mean, how can you not love a guy who was called the "dumb ox."
