I never really thought Double D would refer to anything other than my cup size.
Now it refers to something bigger – more terrifying than giant boobies.
I am officially counting down to my dissertation defense.
April 16th.
On April 16th I’ll march my giant boobies into a small room where I’ll discuss and defend my finished dissertation – the whole of my existence for the last three years. I’ll sit before my committee and anyone else that attends (because they make the whole process even scarier by making it a public forum – bastards!) and do my best to convince them that they really should award me the PhD.
My confidence about the whole thing can probably be measured in teaspoons.
But, I’ve already ordered my graduation regalia so I sure as hell hope it goes well.
The rules state that a dissertation must be submitted to the committee at least two weeks prior to a defense. That puts the turn-in date at April 2nd. I need to have it ready for one final read through by my major professor at least a week or two before that. That puts the real finish date at March 21st.
March 21st.
In just over a month I’ll be as done as possible with this dissertation before it gets put in the hands of the fate masters.
All I can say is HOLY CRAP and DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!!
It’s real, y’all.
Go ahead and say something nice. I could use a couple more teaspoons of confidence as I use the next month to finish writing.
Yeh! You’re almost done! You can totally do it! Sprint for the finish.
Wow. You are down to one month. Just a little over thirty days. Just think how much you have gotten done in the last thirty days. You will speed through it like a wind storm. Then you can take a big breath. Some fine tuning and defending all you have written and its done. You wrote it, you believe it, its in your heart, so your defense will be nothing. You have come so far and have done it so awesomelly (it that even a word). So put some of that awesome in a teaspoon, mix with water, drink and go and finish. As our friend Tony would say “you can do it”.
Wear satin underwear and bra. It’ll make you feel a heck of a lot more confident. Trust me!
Woo Hoo! Almost there! You’re going to do great! But just in case, I agree with Bragger: wear some pretty satin undies to boost your confidence. You will rock!
Pssh. You got this, girl. No need to worry your boobies over this!
