it appears that my committee has approved the new direction of my dissertation without having to have another full blown meeting. solving the 5-body problem is tough (i.e. getting all 5 committee members in the same room at the same time) and i'm glad i get to put off doing it for another 6 months...at which point though, i should be defending my dissertation. the end is in sight but there is a lot to do between now and then.
i am really looking forward to thanksgiving next week. its been in the 40s here early in the morning when i go running and the leaves have changed to slightly more yellow, orange and red hues. so mentally, i think its starting to set it that its time the holidays. that and after next week we have one full week of class and then its finals...as i'm not taking finals anymore, i am "off" for winter break from 12/4 until sometime in late january, at which point i'm hoping to have most of my dissertation research done.
there's a possibility i will be spending a few weeks in europe next summer. the international society of biomechanics conference is being help held in brussels and a week later the dynamic walking conference is happening in jena, germany. keep your fingers crossed that funding works out for everything!
