Chapter 3 draft: goodbye!

I am pleased to report that I have drafted and sent off to my advisors the third chapter of my dissertation! It clocks in at 53 pages (ugh, it's such a bad mixed metaphor, but I can't resist), which is a bit longer than I expected. I had hoped to submit this chapter by May 18th, but I think running only one week late is pretty good, considering D. and I got engaged in the interim. =) I'm hopeful I'll get useful feedback, but at least I don't have to be too worried: I showed my committee chair a précis of the argument four weeks ago, and she already approved it. Phew, one more thing I can check off the list!
