Sorted!

I have a dissertation adviser! His name is Dr. Richard Salmon, and was actually the person I first emailed about my topic, which I'm taking as a good omen, particularly since his interests, as stated on the web, were the most closely related to my own out of the faculty. I've only seen him briefly in lecture, but he reminds me a bit of Tom Sauer in his manner, which would be fantastic, really. Hopefully we'll be able to create a good working relationship, particularly since I have him for both coming semesters while some other people are switching it up. Anyway, I'll be meeting him some time before break, so we'll see how it goes! Also, I need to do more reading for that. Yeah, I'll go and do that, then.
