further rhodiness:
1. i have a suit. it is black, and expensive, and terribly attractive, and from benetton. how terrifying is that? many thanks to everyone who put up with my clothes-shopping phobias and helped/encouraged me to get it. ;-)
2. mock interview tomorrow morning which i just won't be prepared for. today is all about seminar and seminar-cooking. so be it.
3. enjoying the seeming "necessity" for me to peruse the economist, the times, etc., more frequently in the next few weeks. it's procrastination with a purpose.
4. more and more excited about the proposed course of study (which, belatedly responding to danny's comment last week, involves looking at the ways that electoral system design mitigates and/or exacerbates sociological factors affecting women politicians, and at the ways that theory underpins both institutions and those "sociological factors," whatever they are). it's so great to hit on something that seems like it could be satisfying for years of study.
