I went up to College Station (yes, I ARE an Aggie LOL) on Thursday and presented to my committee and a few others on Friday. Everything went well; there were some tough questions but it wasn't as bas as I thought it would be. But I passed and that's the last major hurdle to getting my degree. I sent my thesis in to my professors for final approval, so all I have to do know is get all the paperwork done and submit it to the thesis office. Whew!
No good deed goes unpunished I guess. I have to be back at the courthouse; it looks like I might actually see the inside of a courtroom for the first time.
I have a good friend that got a PhD after the same amount of time and I remeber hearing stories about her defense..I have lots of respect for people who go through that...It's not easy!:applause: :toast:
14. And it's also the maximum amount of time I get.
After 7 years, your classes start to not count anymore and you basically have to start over because it's taken too long. I guess it's a way to limit perennial students. But 5 years is not unreasonable for a doctorate. Mine is only a MS.
I wore khaki pants and a short-sleeved shirt. Pretty casual I admit but it was a good thing because it was hotter than the 10th circl of hell up there. And I ended up having to walk all over campus later on.
