Grateful Impatience

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for my dissertation committee. Everyone on it helped me out of a major bind at my school. Nevertheless, it is amazing how difficult it has been to schedule a two hour meeting with all four committee members. I understand the need to fulfill familial obligations, but I'm talking about a one-time, two hour meeting. Needless to say, I'm currently a bit frustrated. So be forewarned, that the most difficult aspect of writing your dissertation proposal can be getting a proposal defense date scheduled!
