Slighly Lounge-y post, but I passed my comprehensive exams yesterday

and wanted to share that with you guys. So I'm in a doctoral program, and in April, I passed my master's thesis and last month I sat for our comprehensive exams, and yesterday I learnt that I passed those.

It's been a really rough few months for me, my mom was diagnosed with Cancer in March (she's actually ok now), then my grandmother who was a huge influence in my life, died just a week before comps. Followed by being doxxed and having to change my phone number, so this is a really welcome piece of news.

Thank you for letting me share this here

Sorry about your Grandmother. One of mine was a great influence in my life. The other did not get the chance, but that's another story. I miss both of them. In fact nearly all of my family elder to me has "gotten away." I have a couple of aunties still senior to me.

Glad your mom is doing well. I had my own cancer scare. So far so good after 5 years.

BTW: I never commented on it before, but I just love your DU name. It's the lioness that runs the pride.

I have a tremendous amount of respect for people who continue their education.

Mostly because I dragged my feet for so long that I never made it too a Masters let alone a Doctorate ... Hell it took 13 years to get my B.S.

So I am very impressed.

Those qualifiers can be really stressful. I am glad you are through that after the rough times you are experiencing. I wish you the best in the future hoping that the bad times are over.

If you don't mind ... What was you thesis topic and what is the doctoral program?

I keep threatening to enter a doctoral program ... But I'm not trying to do all that reading. After my master's program, it took me 6 months to read anything more comprehensive rather a Stop sign (outside of work).

Good luck! and

my thesis was on the hijab in selection interviews, and the moderating role of participant SDO and target ethnicity

my diss will likely be on reducing adverse impact by using narrow forms of ability instead of g (general mental ability) and narrow facets of personality
