I am currently completing the last of the corrections on my thesis for the completion of my doctorate at NIU. I expect to graduate in December of this year. After 7 years of working toward the degree, I am currently catching up on reading novels by my favorite authors (mostly mystery and sci fi, but also historical fiction), and learning how to cook something under than mac and cheese and hamburger helper.
