The Language of Love

Good Luck!

I do wish you luck. I'm sure we;ll be calling you professor.

 

My birthday is actually the day after that. When I have a drink I'll toast your success.

And if you're anywhere near Austin, TX...I'll buy you that drink! Well, assuming everything goes well!

May 2nd is a full moon date -- an auspicious day! Okay, so I don't actually believe in auspicious days, but I persist in noting them as a harmless affectation.

 

Cheers for our future PhD!

Good Luck DocofLove1974!

Break a leg.

Just curious, but what happens if they give the big NO.

Ummmmmm...I'm trying not to think about that...in my eyes, if the heads of my committee told me to go ahead and set up a date, then it must be good!

 

Realistically, you can defend once more...but that's it. If you don't pass the second one, you're terminated. But that won't happen!

SO, soon we will be calling you DOCTOR ________?

Another question:

How many pages is your thesis by the way?[Though I'm pretty sure you've met the requirement] I believe one of my Latin teacher got his thesis to round 130 pages.(on some unheard of classical person) and my other Latin teacher got his Ph.D. on a 300 page book about taxes(how horrifyingly boring).

"Doc" works just fine...so does "hey you"

 

Currently mine is ~150 pages, not counting the back material; if included, it's almost 200. I don't know that there's a 'requirement' for a page count...just that you get the work done.

 

Although...when I did my masters' thesis, I wrote 35 pages...and was told that it had to be at least 50. Man, I've never stretched sentences, re-worded, and just played verbal shennanigans so much in my life!

 

It's really not hard to come up with the pages, once you get your 'formula' down, all of your literature review in, and the other fun parts. In fact, I think I've cut a few pages out of mine.

Luck.

Have at it! Good luck.

Good luck S!

 

I have the utmost confidence that you'll do just fine!

Good Luck Doc!

Thanks, all.

 

I just finished the last edit, before I go to campus and print it out tomorrow, go to Kinko's and copy it, and ship it out. A friend asked if I'm now sleeping better...I never had a problem sleeping (exercise helps a lot), but I do feel lighter. It's not over, and I know that well, but at least there's a terminus that is tangible.

Good Luck!
