Another Writing Cram Session!


The dissertation comes and go in lulls. I write, I submit, I wait, I edit, I submit, I wait, I write, I submit, I wait, I edit, I submit, I wait, I write, I submit, I wait, I edit, I submit, I wait, I write, I submit, I wait, I edit, I submit, I wait.... My advisor gave me decent feedback, but I have tons of edits and after a conversation with him, there may even be some restructuring. All in time to finish the proposal and give it to my committee tomorrow to prepare for my proposal meeting on Sunday. Now that I officially feel the tension in my neck from just blogging about it, I will log off and do it.... I will keep you posted. Wish me Luck!

I Just Got My Feedback!!


I just got an email from my advisor with his feedback on my dissertation proposal. I am glad I got it back, but I am a little nervous to see what he said. Ideally, I will make the changes and get a hard copy to my committee members by Friday. This gives them the weekend and Monday to read it in time for my proposal meeting on Tuesday. Yikes. I am going to bed now, but plan to look at this in the morning. Hopefully, I will be well rested and ready to go tomorrow. Wish me luck. Night.

Our wedding website


Our wedding website is up. It took a lot of work, but I am happy with it. The nice thing about it, is we can keep adding all sorts of things. Plus, there is a blog on there, as well. That one will focus more on the progress of the wedding. We have exactly four months until the wedding. I am so excited and happy to begin our lives together. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Dissertation Proposal Meeting DEADLINE!

(Photo from: http://www.streamys.org)

Time is running out until another deadline. My proposal meeting is a week from today. MAY 11th. I must admit, I am a little worried because I don't have my edits yet for my proposal. I am sure that everything will work out, but when I have so much going on... it can be difficult to have uncertainty. If anything, this dissertation process will teach me to let go of control and learn to have patience. How do you release control of things you never really had control over, anyways?

I'm Back, AGAIN!


I have not blogged in about two weeks. I miss blogging, but lately I have been feeling so overwhelmed that blogging hasn't been one of my top priorities. I am juggling so many balls right now. I'm pursuing my school counseling license, preparing for my dissertation proposal meeting, finishing my PhD, working, dealing with personal things, planning a wedding, and there may be some things I am missing. I have so much to catch you up on. In spite of the stress and the many tasks I have, I feel so blessed and I am happy that my mood is still fairly upbeat. That is something I will continue to monitor.
