Brrrrr

It got cold. Fleece-check. Primaloft coat-check. Hat-check. Scarf-check. What will I do come January? Um, freeze my ass off. I fancy the cold over the rain though. Anyhow, I promised more pictures, so here are a few to tide you over for now. Today was sunny and I got up early to get to a lecture on what my dissertation will entail. Let me just say that I think I miss Berkeley about--now. The llm program her only lets you have 3 meetings with your adviser here during the dissertation process in an effort to make the process fair...??? Okay, fairness is all fine and good, well kinda, but only 3 meetings is ludicrous. How about 6? I mean, if you are a solitary writer who doesn't need feedback than this seems fair enough, but what if you thrive on feedback, than it doesn't seem so fair. And what about the foreign students for whom English is a second language? I think they could use more than 3 meetings. Life isn't fair. So the school should just leave it be and let students be their own advocates to get time with their professors. As much or as little as they need. Okay, off the soap box now.
