As a fourth year doctoral candidate, in addition to having completed comprehensive examinations and prospectus and working on the dissertation, my thoughts are also turning towards the job market and securing that first academic position. This purpose of this blog is to chronicle the trials and tribulations of completing my Ph.D. and finding that first job.

Statistics for June

As I mentioned in a post on one of my other blogs (see How Do You Say Good-Bye?) this has been a tough time for me, so the stats this month will be fairly bare bones (it also accounts for the lack of activity this past two weeks)...

As of this moment there are 2095 hits to this blog based upon the straight counter. It read 1824 at the end of May. These hits came from 97 unique visitors: 69 first timers and 28 repeat offenders for an average of 3 visitors a day.

These visitors came from the United States, Canada, Philippines, Malaysia, Turkey, Japan, Hungary, Finland, the United Kingdom, Barbados, and India.

Until next month when hopefully much of this will be past me.
