I shall either perish or reign
1. Catherine the Great: Love, Sex, and Power by Virginia Rounding
A very intriguing book about a woman who has fascinated me since I took my first Russian History course in high school -- yes, my high school had a Russian History course; and yes, I've taken more than one Russian History course. The Romanovs are FASCINATING!

Is it really about to happen?
I just completed my "Application for Degree", a first step to graduating in May.
Now I just need to:
-- complete my application for a Smithsonian Postdoctoral Fellowship by January 15th to work at the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center -- assuming Dr. Denise Breitburg sponsors my application and accepts me as a contributing member of her lab
-- analyze a buttload of data and complete a rough draft of my dissertation by February 6th so my advisor can look it over for me to work more on it
-- defend said dissertation on April 6th and pass my dissertation exam
I can do it. I'm a rock star. *bites nails*
EDIT: Dr. B is interested! Now, just ten days to pull together a research proposal.
