emancipation proclamation

A couple of weeks ago, I got this horoscope, and ever since then I have been repeating the quote to myself. As I buckle down to finish my dissertation by the 15th (ACK!), I am trying my hardest to remain calm, take deep breaths, and visualize the life I want and how great it will feel to be free.

Welcome to Part Two of your outlook for the second half of 2008, Aquarius. We're checking up on how you're progressing with the challenges you were given near the end of last year. I'm hoping that six months from now, you'll look back and make the following declaration: "This is the hardest I've ever worked to be free. Liberation always came pretty easily to me before, but this year I had to find new ways -- complicated, interesting, highly advanced ways -- to carve out the space to live the life I want. I'm glad I was challenged so deeply. It has made me a genius of emancipation."


Within the next few days I hope to have an Official date for my public dissertation defense lecture. I will keep you posted.
