Brooke and I are so excited about the upcoming move to TN this summer (and of course the new baby), and there are so many things I want to get done before then. However, there is one big road block (or opportunity if I'm trying to be optimistic) I need to get around before I can truly enjoy my last few months before school starts. And that would be the completion of my Master in Science degree from UAH. I began working on it directly following undergrad graduation in the fall of '07, but when my plans changed a year later my graduate work really got put on hold. So now after two years, six post-bac classes, two MCATs, and several medical school applications have finally led to one very anticipated acceptance letter, it is time to buckle down and finish my thesis. I also have to take a comps exam that I am pretty nervous about since I haven't actually had a graduate class in about two years (other than thesis hours). But that's actually on the back burner for now. The thesis comes first. I finally rounded up a committee late last year and have had a few preliminary meetings with the chair and one other member to get some much need guidance. Tomorrow I meet with the chair again to review my progress presentation that I will present to the committee hopefully in the next couple of weeks. If tomorrow's meeting goes well and the progress meeting goes well then we will set a date for me to defend. At times I think, "Oh this won't be so hard I've already done the toughest part, and then at other times it seems hopeless and want to quit. But don't. I won't. I need to just man up and get it done. So I guess that's what I'll do. One quick view of Bluto's "who's with me" speech from Animal House and I should have all the motivation I need to get prepared for tomorrows meeting. Off to You Tube I go.......Well this is all I could find, check it out.
