Big Day for Aaron

Yowza! I just turned in my BA thesis proposal. It's gonna be a fun year because I just can't wait to sink my teeth into this topic. I'm writing about nuclear proliferation, specifically looking for conditions when states will give/sell their technology. I'm going to look for situations in which this has actually occured, then try and understand why a state would surrender a technological edge to another actor who could potentially resell that technology to the first state's competitor. Now I've got to figure out how to actually research and write the damn thing. John Mearsheimer, my advisor, likes the topic, but is careful to add that I really need to figure out how I'm going to approach this thing. "Yay" and "ouch". I'm just glad I'm officially over the first hump. The itty-bitty hump. Next stop: the stacks/microforms/lexus-nexus/jstor/etc... etc... etc...

Boom.
