Phrasing!

Since I don't update this as much as I need to, a few-line update is in order.

Last Tuesday I passed my thesis proposal / oral exam, which is milestone 3 of 4 towards my PhD. I now have until June 2018 to finish my dissertation.

I'll also be in California starting Friday, June 7th for 2.5 weeks. First a conference near Berkeley (June Frolic!) before driving down to the LA area for family stuff.
