I just got a response from Hellerstein. She says I just have to listen to S.G. talk about her work, and give a progress report (or lack of progress report). Phew. Now I can go back to building an ostentatious vocabulary (that will make me sound erudite).

Read sen_ichi_rei and your GRE verbal score is guaranteed to go up at least 50 points (or your money* back)!

And on a completely unrelated note: what should I name my patiche? (And my trowel for that matter.)The trowel is male, and I haven't determined a gender for the patiche. I guess it'll depend on the name that I choose, and how I feel once i've actually used it. Points if your name suggestion is used.

*Imagine if people actually paid to read my LJ...

I'm sorry, I can hear the word 'patiche' out loud, because then I think of it as being 'patish in Hebrew, but seeing it written, I assume it is something the size of half a piece of bread that is served in a French restaurant for which you pay obscene amounts of money.
Therefore I vote that you name the patiche Eclair, and make my confusion worse.

What about if I named it Claire (since that's an actual name and it has the same letters, just the E is moved around)?
