Hello everyone,
There have been times when PT has literally saved my sanity during the course of my PhD. You gave me a laugh and showed me that there is more to my life than just this.
I want to share with everyone that I am finally defending my dissertation this afternoon (3PM EST). Please keep all paws and fingers crossed that things will go well.
Cheryl
Wishing you lots of good luck, Cheryl!!!! :D I know you will do great!!!!! :)
You got it!! Good luck to you!
Good luck, I'm sure you will do very well. 8 paws and 10 fingers crossed for you.
Will do. Best of luck to you today. :)
My best friend just had her PhD qualifying exam a week and a half ago and had been stressing over it for the last year. She passed and is now an official PhD candidate and I know she feels like 100,000 lbs has been lifted off her chest! You will feel the same. Good luck!
Thank you everyone.
I remember taking my qualifying exams and it was the same thing. Except they were written exams, whereas this is an oral exam. I keep trying to tell myself that I am the person who knows the most about the subject. But even so...
Oh really? Hers had both written and oral, I believe. Then again, hers was in physiology. What's yours?
By the way, where in MD are you?
I am currently living in Baltimore and will soon be joining the commute down to DC (that is where the new job is). I "guess" we are fortunate in that our qualifying exams are just written (but 6 days of written exams...) and the final dissertation defense is oral. So we get a combination but maybe it is just our discipline. I will be getting a degree in Pharmaceutical Health Services Research, which in English means that I study the economics of prescription drugs.
Oh, you're nearby to me - I work in Owings Mills and live in Carroll Co.
Wow - sounds really nasty! Six days of written exams? Ugh. She had written first and then a presentation - she was absolutely over the moon when she finished.
You'll do fine on yours!! Just keep telling yourself that you do know more than anyone else. Confidence shows!! Good luck. : )
I am shure you will do just fine.
But I am sending extra good vives
your way just in case.
How did it go???? Dr. Emily the spoiled....has a nice ring to it! I thought good thoughts from 3-5 eastern time!:D :D
Yes, do tell. Enquiring minds want to know. Can we call you Dr??
Yes, it is now official! I am Dr. Emily the spoiled :D :D :D :D :D
The reality hasn't quite sunk in yet, so I am still getting used to the fact that I am finished!!!
Thank you for all of the good wishes
Congrats, Dr.!!!
