where I've been

It has been an amazingly long time since I put up a blog post. What happened? Well, throughout the month of October, I applied for 45 or so jobs. That was a lot of work. At the end of that, I defended my Dissertation. Now, I have to revise my dissertation and because no one read it before the defense, well...they have a few suggestions. I have to pretty much add another chapter on crazy politics of the 1960s. I'm not sure where to focus because my dissertation committee couldn't make any suggestions. They just said they want something between chapter 4 and 5.

Interestingly, out of three of them, one didn't read chapter 5 and one didn't read chapters 1-4 (out of 5). Ah, tenure. So, basically, the professor of AfAm culture is mad because my dissertation which has nothing to do with the black panthers doesn't include a chapter on the black panthers. So, now I have to go become an expert on the great poetry and drama of the black arts movement. By the way, I am not against the black arts movement. I am against writing another chapter for my dissertation after the defense which is when the dissertation should be done. I am against having to write another chapter because my dissertation advisors, not a single one of them, read my dissertation for more than a year and a half. One still hasn't read it, and one of them read it four days before the defense.

These people suck is I guess what I am saying.
