I love B! He is So Smart!

This from B's advisor to the financial aid committee. He is so smart and I love him so much. I'm so proud of him. (So much so that sometimes I feel like his mother!)

Dear Committee:

I am happy to report that "B" is making good progress on his dissertation. After passing his orals with an outstanding performance last Fall, B asked me to serve as his dissertation director, which I was delighted to accept given my familiarity with the high quality of his work. In the ensuing months, we have consulted regularly about his prospectus and research, developing a thesis, delimiting topics, evolving bibiliographies. B is doing voluminous reading vis a vis the intersections of Paulo Freire, critical pedagogy, and liberation theology. His particular interest is in the “prophetic” aspects of Freire’s rhetoric and how they influenced his pedagogical methods. B is a remarkably bright person who writes with insight and clarity, so I am very enthusiastic about his dissertation project. A future book by him on Paulo Freire as a border intellectual who traversed secular and religious discourses in the making of his epistemology is much needed in the field. B is on track, reading voraciously, and drafting a prospectus which will guide his dissertation.

Respectfully submitted,


Dr. "B's Advisor"
PhD Program in English

PS: I have a date with TT tonight at NDN's dinner party. Mixed feelings about it. Definitely feeling AWKWARD.

PPS: Narc doesn't hate me after all... He sent me an email (with a poster attached) on Friday afternoon:

Just a little mock-up of my dream cast for "Oceans"... (grin) (And now, surely you'll recognize Peter Saarsgaard, no?)

PPPS: Hammer-- if you're reading this, get blogging! You have a lot of exciting drama to tell!



As for all about my mom's "Sweet Sixty," I'll get to that tomorrow. Time to go shower and make myself beautiful for tonight.
