Dear reader(s)

Dear reader(s):

And so, I have reached the end of my dissertation year(s). That seems to me to mean that I have also reached the end of this blog.

However, I am not sure what to do. I would like to keep writing a blog. But not a blog about my dissertation. I am wondering if I could start a new blog on a new topic. But what topic? Academia? (Boring and depressing.) Lesbianism? (Exciting, fun, but I'm not sure how unique my take on this topic will be.) Living in Canada? (Sort of a limited issue.) Staying at least five feet away from others at all times? (Important, but difficult to narrate in an interesting way.) Animals? (I have no critiques of this one.)

What do you think about the future of blogging by me in a post-diss environment?

I am in full support of you continuing this blog if only for those of us who have not finished are diss-asters yet. It's sort of been a type of diss-aster therapy for me. Please keep up the good work and do not despair.

Definitely keep writing the blog. Maybe it could be about your experiences as a Post-Doc? Or maybe it could be about the culture shock of Duck and Horse meeting with their distant cousins Goose and Moose?

In-depth reporting on Lesbian-Canadian animals, please!

More, please! I like it when you blog about academia, teaching, Canadia, lesbianism, Duck and Horse, and how to endorse Obama! I understand if you want to post less frequently though. But keep going, YSA!

I miss it when you don't blog. I even like the camping stories. Please don't stop.

OK, I am going for it--but I need a new central theme.

Gosh, I HATE academia right now. Yesterday I was like, "I am definitely dropping out of grad school NOW," and then Tom was like, "It's too late!" and I was like, "Woah, crap, debating whether to drop out of grad school has been a central organizing principle of my life--what do I do now?"
