The book

Well, we've got a working manuscript now printed out from the Kinkos. Its pretty awesome to see. Its going to be nice working on one draft, a hard copy that I can note on and that will have consistent pagination. The hard part is over, now comes the slow part. Its going to be a month long process at least of going through and making sure that we're clear on all the more controversial points, and also that we're good on all the new literature that has come out since we started the project. I've been trying to keep up on it, but with work and school, its fallen a bit behind and I've relied upon the known classics. That's not great scholarship.

I'm really hoping that finishing this project leads to great things. I got into one graduate school this year, and while there are a lot of advantages, I'm going to have to defer. Since there was no money, I'm not sure how I come up with out of state tuition. Its a state school, but still. So, this year I'll be putting some money back from what I intend to be great successes to potentially pay for this education.

I also need to get my focus squared away. This past six months has been one long freak out. Stress I think, or possibly something worse. While the state is paying for my insurance, I should really find out. That should help make some of the financial calls easier.
