dissertation tip #2

having spent 8 hours on an exam on monday-tuesday, most of today writing a bloody horrible paper, the weekend nowhere in sight, and reading backed up by about five days, i'm ready to declare this the first Grad School Week From Hell. i'm on the verge of going to read the catcher in the rye again, just so you have an idea of how bad.

anyway, i was handed up dissertation tip #2 today, from ANON, who told me:
