Well, it's another new year (and no need to count how many there have been since I started this PhD thing) and time to start fresh. My dissertation has been on extended hiatus since I came back from India in June - it lost out in favour of things like teaching, finding a place to live (twice!), and earning a living. I think I've found some degree of balance in that, and am looking forward to having only one job (at the NCCEH) and maybe the occasional contract. This of course means there should be room to work on my thesis.
Yes folks, I will resume work on my thesis starting this week. There. I said it. Publicly. Yikes, now I have to do it!
I got a friendly kick in the pants in the form of a $2000 scholarship from the Shastri Indo-Canadian Institute - just enough for a flight to India to reconnect with people and give back some results to my research contacts. Naturally, I can't do that until I have some results to give, but knowing that I can pay for the flight is a nice prize to work toward.
