I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It doesn't matter that his hair is really stupid? I mean, it's not just long. It defies gravity and flows sideways.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good blood, Barb.

Nilly, I hope you're right about the test. I will be disappointed to not get this gig.

Stopping thinking about it again.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, Dana -- I meant that is the only possible reaction to that picture, IMO.

Oh, I got that you were agreeing with me. I just wanted you to tell me I was young and pretty too.

Dana, your youngness and prettiness are known facts which have nothing to do with any gravity-defying and sideways-flowing hair.

But of course. You're almost embarassingly young and exceptionally pretty. That kid just needs a haircut.

Oh man -- I just casually went looking at jobs in Boston, and the daycare center I went to is hiring a co-director! I want that job! Except probably not really. But I loved that place.

I'm trying to picture you, Jesse, as a day care codirector.

We're considering moving again. Have I mentioned that already?

ita, K signed up for Krav on a month-to-month basis. We need to go get her Krav gear now so she can go back on Friday for the next class. Jarret W was her teacher.

sorry about the unfun interview, btw.

Have I mentioned how depressed I am that both our valedictorians (both girls) who got into 5 universities between them (Berekeley, UCSB, USD, Woodbury and somewhere else, Woodbury offered a full ride too)...they are both opting to go to community college.

It makes me want to cry.

I really liked working in a day care center. Granted, that was 15 years ago, but now I'm a manager. Of course, it's an actual cooperative, which I'm pretty sure would make me bananas.

Hey -- maybe vw actually wants that job?

That's crazy-making about the valedictorians.

May I exploit the hivemind again in asking to go over this letter for me?

To the Committee for Ph.D. Research Students

Attached to this letter please find a revised version of my Ph.D. dissertation "Dynamics of Data Traffic in Communication Networks", supervised by Prof. S. Havlin from the Physics department.

I am grateful that all the three referees have found the dissertation interesting and appropriate for a Ph.D. degree.

Following are responsea to the points raised by the referees:

The dissertation was thoroughly proofread, and both typographical as well as grammar errors were corrected.

The references were carefully combed, and a couple which had not been properly referenced were re-organized to reflect their respective topics.

Several of the figures' captions (such as figures 4.9- 4.18, 4.22 and 4.23) were broaden, in order to better express their meaning and connection to the surrounding text.
