In about 15 minutes, I’m off to pick up the six copies of my dissertation that I ordered yesterday, to be followed by a quick run to campus to drop off everything to my committee members.
Yes, it’s ready. After two weeks of fierce editing efforts, I have a defendable dissertation.
And you know, I’m pretty amazed by what I got done in those two weeks. When I gave earlier drafts to my advisor this year (in October and in February), I remember thinking “ooh, maybe she’ll say, ‘Looks good, let’s set a defense date’!” – but looking back now, I think only that I’m thrilled I had the time to revise as much as I did. My dissertation draft from last October is so far away from what I’ve got now.
In the end, it’s a dissertation I’m happy with and proud of. And three weeks from tomorrow, on April 20, at 9 a.m., I’ll defend the heck out of it.
Way to go, Tanya! Good luck defending your dissertation, Dr. Tanya!
Do you have a electronic file that you can send to me? I’d like to look over it before the defense. So exciting!
Absolutely! I’ll send you the PDF later today.
Congrats!
Congratulations!!!
