I keep trying to get away from academia, but I just can't! Actually, my parents are academics, so it's hopeless (and I do still think like an academic in many ways!). I have "half a PhD," I like to say (not quite ABD), and also worked at UC-San Dieg…

I'll be reading from my new memoir, The Possibility of Everything (www.thepossibilityofeverything.com) and talking about memoir writing at Warwick's Books in La Jolla at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, November 10. Hoping that you can make it--would love to meet some SheWrites members in the San Diego area. I'm up in LA, myself.
All best,

I have been thinking about getting out of my PhD with a Masters as year 4 is coming to an end. Was that an acceptable option within your faculty? I have broached the subject within my school but it's never been done before and I get the feeling that I would be persona non grata if I pursued that option. Truth is I don't really mind because I just want to finish off the damn thing :) I would appreciate any ting you have to say about what that was like for you.
Kind regards,
Heather
