Hey ladies!

I probably won't check in in the morning before I leave for school, and I can't sleep right now anyway from nervousness, but today I have the oral defense of my second year project proposal (basically a master's thesis, but since I already have a master's I can't file for another one).  If you could be sending me positive thoughts at 11:30 a.m. PST I would really appreciate it!

I'll report back in the afternoon.  Unless I'm crying.  But let's not consider that option (if I fail, they kick me out of the program.  But that is pretty rare.  I think.  Knocking on wood, crossing my fingers and throwing salt over my shoulder).

  • You'll be fabulous. Remember: CONFIDENCE. ;)

    11:30 a.m. is right when I start teaching my class, so I'll be sure to send good thoughts/vibes your way while I'm taking attendance. :)

  • Good luck! Keep us updated please.
  • Good luck! I'm sure you will be great!
  • Good luck!!! Will be thinking of you and sending you positive oral defense dust.

    ETA: Why can't you get a second Masters? Are they through the same school? I have two Masters in the same area (but from different schools). I'll still call you a Double Master, regardless.

  • Thanks guys!  It's done!  WAHOOOOOO!

    On the whole, I think it went pretty well.  There was a last-minute sub of one of the panel members and the new panelist ended up being a professor that I like.  I'm in her class right now.  She gave me a really stony face the entire time (and was the only one to say a critical comment) but the other two panelists were really supportive, smiling and nodding throughout!

    I was able to answer their questions at the end to their satisfaction, so I think it really all worked out for the best.  I am totally excited and screamed/sang in my car all the way home!!

    As for the double master's, my first one is in special education and I guess the rule is because I already have that I can't get one in general education because they're both education (even though they're different types).  Whatever.

    Next stop, written proposal!
