Sun-rippened goodness

I just bought a punnet of strawberries from the fruit stand for 99p, and they are magnificently delicious! I have been using them to spoil my appitite for lunch. Reminds me how being around for the peak of the strawberry season was one of the casualties of going to Vassar--it hadn't started when I left P-town, and it was over by the time I hit Apple Chill (mmm, sudden memories of fairs). And now--the strawberries are mine! Mwahaha.

Dissertation update: I did get stuck on that chapter, but then I turned to the second chapter, and it's gradually taking over the world! I've already written 14 pages, and I've got SO much more to say on the topic! Since my dissertation is only supposed to be 40 pages (and they don't take as well as VC to overrunning the limit), I'd planned to have a 5-page intro, two 15-page chapters, and a 5-page conclusion. This second chapter is not staying within its limit! But since I'm stuck on the first chapter anyway, it's possible that I might let the second chapter eat the first and reconsider the form.... like maybe splitting the second chapter into three (or more) small sections, and making the first chapter one of those sections..... hmmmm......

For the moment, I'm going to keep writing on this thing until I get stuck... or run out of stuff to say.

In the mean time, maybe I'll have another strawberry.
