For those of you who’ve been following my progress through the PhD, you might recall that one of my primary goals in creating this blog was to chart said progress. Well, a small victory happened just the other day for my qualifying papers: after some delay, I got feedback from my committee and learned that one of two passed without revision while the other needs revision. I’ve got ample time (six weeks) to do the revisions, which I don’t imagine I will need in its entirety. Once I have successfully passed both papers my plan is to post them along with the other documents I have created thus far in this process.
I feel like I have fallen well behind my other colleagues but I have been getting some great support from my on and offline communities, so this thing keeps going.
This is good to hear Justin! Sorry–I haven’t been commenting on your blog for some time; doing similar things as you I suppose. I’m glad to hear you are making progress!
Thanks, Daniel. I heard you recently obtained ABD status, so congratulations are in order for you as well! The thing I’m learning about these little milestones is that so much of the progress we make is out of our control and that can be frustrating. Glad to hear you’re doing well. Another baby on its way soon?
Yes, thank you for the congrats. The prospectus went much faster and smoother for me than the papers. I hope it’s the same for you.
New boy touching down very soon, yes. Then to try and push out this dissertation baby before funding runs out. Too bad there’s no Pitocin for that.
