Fake it till I make it.

I haven't made it yet but I do have a date for my dissertation defense, I'm a slight pessimist so I don't think it's real yet, so I'm going through the cycle of happiness, doubt, and concern...I guess this is all life, right? I guess I have to live it! I'm not sure how to feel, C'mon already, I'm tired of guessing in life!

Lord who art up there...

Lord, I know you see me here grinding, I know you see my time, effort, and focus. C'mon now..a lil bitty assistance here. Just messin, I'm on track, everything I'm doing is making sense, even the changes. A few more clean-ups, checks, and a rewrite of my results..heck, I redid stats.duuhhhh!!! Ready, set, go!

I think I can...I think I did...

It's looking good for the home team...well, it's looked good before. So, it's 3:33 AM and I'm about complete with my itty bitty adjustments. I swear nobody works harder than....I...or me, I mean, myself, you know, the guy writing the blog. I think I deserve this, I think I met all requirements, I think I've done it..We will soon see...

Brain working???

Heck of a journey, dedicated the vast majority of my weekend to studying, I think may have just paid off. My submission has surpassed the expectation of my advisor and she is thinking there is nothing more than a few quick touch ups and I'll be able to roll ahead. Expected date of dissertation defense is 2nd week in September...We will see...long time coming, but it's still not here!
