I am on my way!
Well - I know that I have not blogged for a long time! A lot has happened....I passed my dissertation proposal! YEAH!! Wow I was so nervous during that meeting! But my committee liked what they saw (and they were super supportive during the meeting - it is not as scary as people say it is!) and now I just have some corrections to make in those first few chapters. I also must finish up the data analysis and write the last chapters (results and discussion). I hope to defend the final document in early 2008.And also since I blogged last, I studied for 5 LONG months for my doctoral comprehensive exams....day and night....didn't see friends, family, husband.....just me and my books....BUT it was all worth it when I found out that I passed my doctoral exams!!! That was my biggest accomplishment in all of grad school. I still can't believe that I studied so hard and that I passed my exams on the first try! (And I have some extra pounds to show for all the sitting and eating and studying!)
Now I just started my fourth year internship. I love my new job - it is so interesting. I learn so much everyday (although I will admit it is hard to become a full time working girl from my graduate school mentality.....).
I just need to finish these last two classes (one more month of them) and then I will be done with all my grad school classes!! (Hard to believe!) Then I need to finish up my dissertation writing and then come May, 2008...I will be DONE!!
I just joined Weight Watchers (again) today! I need to lose all those extra "grad school" pounds!
Good luck to everyone reading this - you can do it! Just set your goals and keep your eye on them! And don't let ANYONE tell you that you can't do it!
