...to anyone who may be dropping by via City Pages "The Blotter." I am thrilled to be the MINNESOTA BLOG OF THE DAY--Though had I known folks would be stopping by I would have put on an extra pot of coffee! Oh, and you can just call me "Yvette": That "Perry032" stuff is not some slick screen name, only my University of Minnesota-assigned user identification.
...to anyone who may be dropping by via BlogHer's "Research and Academia" recent round up. I do, indeed, have visions of "grandiose dissertation dedications" (and I'm definitely going to add "I'd like to thank the Academy" to my fantasy). Again, just call me Yvette. (I really need to figure out how to change that "authored by" field on my blog posts...)
...to anyone who may be visiting--whether new friends or old. You have caught me at a lull in my blogging, as I am feverishly trying to finish a full draft of my dissertation. Please browse around: If you are interested in higher education stuff, take a look at the archived blog posts in my Grad Student Life, Dissertation 101, or Research and Theory categories. If you're interested more in non-higher education stuff, you might enjoy the posts from my Life Happens category or multiple Black HIstory Month and Kwanzaa categories (here and here, for example). Also, I am by no means a "photographer," but you may enjoy looking at some of my Photo Essays.
Finally, my first post--from October of 2004--explains the origins of the title of this blog.
Whoever you are and wherever you are from, thank you for dropping by. I am going to get back to work now so that pretty soon if you visit back you can call me "Dr"!

And congratulations on being Minnesota's blog of the day, that's SO cool!!!
