Oh yeah, I have to finish my doctorate

First, I have to wish my brother Andy a happy birthday today!

As for the car issue, well, the second opinion agreed with the first so I am getting it fixed. Not what I was needing 7 weeks before a new baby but what is a girl to do.

The big issue for me right now is completing my portfolio in order to mail it to my professors on Tuesday. They have to receive it 30 days before I take my 1 hour oral comprehensive exam. That wonderful experience is scheduled for Feb. 19; don't ask me what I was thinking when I scheduled that....somehow being so close to delivery, I don't know how I am going to do with an hour's worth of questions.
I am down to my last 26 pages and revision of one paper; So my goal is to be at Kinko's by 4pm tomorrow in order to make 3 copies of this "book", 1 for each of the committee members. Although I am really struggling to get it done, I have to do it now because I am So NOT going to have time after March:). My plan is to be able to start on my dissertation during the summer months in order to graduate in December; now all that could change, of course but I am going to give it a shot. I originally thought I would finish in August....that thought seems comical based on my current situation.
As for my pregnancy, I am definitely always tired again. And I hate going up and down the stairs and feeling like I just ran for miles. Other than that, all is well. I am down 1 more week so 7 weeks to go. Well being that I am measuring 3 weeks ahead I could be a month away, now that is a scary thought!

I hope your plan works to finish your doctrate.

Don't worry the day will come soon enough and the last 9+ months will seem like nothing. Just wait til you finally get to see her in person....its the best feeling.
