The Waiting Game

I've been slaving away on the Proposal, trying to prove that my thesis is not only worth attempting to prove, but also entirely original. It took fourteen pages and was accompanied by twenty pages of bibliography. (I have more bibliography, but decided that what was there would be sufficient.)

The slaving away has ceased for now as the Proposal has been submitted to the three-person committee, all of whom, I hope, will approve of the Proposal. (There should be no problems with the departmental committee's approval if the three-person committee approves.)

Now the waiting begins.
