Ok, so I pretty much am sucky blogger all around

I've been so busy reading, I've forgotten that I even have a blog dedicated to preparing for my comps. Don't worry though, probably-not-dedicated-readers, I have done lots of reading. In fact, I am now shooting for a February 15 start date, two weeks ahead of my last start date goal of March 1. My committee chair seems confidant about it and I do too. I am getting restless. I've done so much reading already that I just want to get them done...

So this is the game plan: I am going to read for about two more weeks. Then right before Thanksgiving break, I am going to send revised questions and reading lists to my other committee members and schedule a meeting for finals week. During that meeting I will be given more revisions and reading suggestions, but that will give me about two months to get that done and be ready.

Then, I will have close to a month to prepare for the 4 C's, because YES, I got into the 4 C's.

Then, hopefully, I will be able to defend the comps next spring instead of next fall and I will ABD by May 2011.

Wow, that sounds like a busy 6 months that will accomplish a lot.

It's good though, just when I begin to feel a little burnt out, I get great incentives to keep going

God, I'll be so glad when I just get the PhD.
