And I Thought My Thesis was Rough...

So I worked on my thesis for almost a year before it was completed and approved. It totaled 108 pages and I've got the pretty hard-backed book to prove it. Well...I naively thought to myself, "That wasn't bad. If I can write a thesis I can surely get my Ph.D. without too much more trouble..."
This statement has come back to get me because my first semester into my Ph.D. studies I am required to write a 120 page book by the end of the semester! My thesis was not even that long! Well here it is Novemeber and I'm on page 88. It's coming...slowly but surely it's coming. What was I thinking...this is so much more work than the Masters! All I have to say is this better all be worth it! Ha!

Oh April....I'll be praying for you. That sounds miserable and horrible. But if anyone can crank it out, it's you! I'm super impressed and know it will turn out great!

Think of a cross between The Little Engine That Could and What About Bob -- "I think I can...baby steps...I think I can...baby steps..."

Miss you!
